Many thanks to @drfassnidge.bsky.social for having me for a talk on „How the perpetrator defies the law - assessing mens rea from a normtheoretical perspective“ at @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social Law School! An inspiring place to visit. I had a great time and met old friends and new! 😉

I gave a talk at the @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social and found the best advertisement for getting a law degree ever! 😅 Could not help but taking a picture…

In our next post on criminaljusticetheoryblog.wordpress.com, coming Friday, Valerij Zisman considers the use of empirical research in human psychology on punishment theory. He say that it can be an important yardstick for ethical and legal theories, but we must use it more carefully. Watch for that!

Couldn’t agree more! An inspiring criminal law workshop for postgrads & early career researchers! Great papers, stimulating discussions, the chance to meet amazing new colleagues & friends—we even did karaoke! Honored to have organized this with Lindsay Farmer & Kimmo Nuotio @uofglasgow.bsky.social

Just landed in HK after a terrific workshop at the University of Glasgow, co-organised by @phirsch.bsky.social (also featuring @mortenboe.bsky.social & @johwei.bsky.social). Great opportunity to test the patience of criminal law theorists with a paper on Hegel's justification of punishment 😇

Many thanks to the UCL Centre for Criminal Law (@markedsouza1.bsky.social in particular) for the invitation, and to @levinguever.bsky.social for the insightful comments. It was a pleasure to speak on the challenges of assessing mens rea. Looking forward to continuing the discussion! #lawsky #crimsky
