The symposium is held in honour of the 2025 Nils Klim Laureate Daniela Alaattinoğlu. The Laureate's lecture is followed by presentations by three invited speakers, a panel discussion and a Q&A session.
The Nordic rights development narrative, shifting from scepticism to revolution, often centres on elite perspectives: courts, parliaments and public institutions. Drawing on three cases – sterilisation policies targeting trans people, forced reproductive control of Indigenous women in Greenland, and oppression of the Indigenous Sámi – this lecture explores rights developments ‘from the margins’, showing how law can be used to oppress, but also to advance the position of individuals and groups.
