> of an imagined future upon reality˛ (R. Cover), how are contestations about
> laws tied to disputes about visions of alternative futures? Who are our
> visionaries? Whose voices are heard and amplified in our contestations over
> law, culture, and alternative futures? How does the law both give and
> silence voice? How do we give voice to our visions in politics, in
> literature, in film, in media, in courtrooms? This conference invites papers
> that address the themes of vision and voice through interdisciplinary
> research in law, culture, and humanities.
