‘Encounters with Books from Other Disciplines’ is a series encouraging a new form of writing, i.e., an essay in reading generatively from another discipline. Each piece in the series takes a recently published book from another discipline and relates it to legal scholarship. Encounter essays are not ‘reviews’, but instead focus on the generative potential of books from other disciplines for thinking about and researching law. These essays ask: what new questions does the book open up for legal scholarship? What new resources and topics of investigation does the book offer? But also the other way round: what can legal scholarship offer the field of research that the book opens up? If interested in contributing to the series, please email the Encounters Editor, Maksymilian Del Mar: m.delmar@qmul.ac.uk.
