International Research Group on Law & Urban Space (IRGLUS)
Introduction [back to contents] The International Research Group on Law & Urban
Space (IRGLUS) was formed in 1993, aiming to gather academics from diverse
backgrounds – jurists, geographers, sociologists, political scientists, urban
planners and environmentalists who are doing research or are interested in the
interface between law and urbanisation. Its working languages are English and
Spanish. IRGLUS’ goal is to encourage socio-legal
research in urban legal studies, as well as to organise international workshops
for the presentation and dissemination of relevant research projects and
findings. Structure IRGLUS’ network is inherently organic, and relies on the
support of its members. Members are free to organise events under the banner of
IRGLUS or IRGLUS Latina America, which are then consequently shared via IRGLUS’
various networks. There is no formal structure or legal entity for IRGLUS, but
the network has a significant online presence. Methods of Communication [back to contents] IRGLUS has a website that contains information
about the network, as well as limited content generated by members themselves.
IRGLUS has a page on Facebook, which is kept regularly updated and aims to create a social network of content relating broadly to law and urban space. The Facebook site also has the aim of encouraging new members to the network, and provides a space for discussion and debate. http://www.facebook.com/IRGLUS IRGLUS has a Yahoo Groups account, which it uses to maintain a database of members, as well as an avenue for members to communicate with one another. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/irglus/info IRGLUS also sends out a newsletter once every two months, summarising the activities of the group.
