[event] Sofia Ranchordás: The New Regulatory State
January 30, 2025 12:00 - 13:00 UTC+1
Speaker: Sofia Ranchordás is a Full Professor of Administrative Law at Tilburg Law School.
Description: In this talk, Sofia Ranchordas will present her new book with Karen Yeung ‘Introduction to Law and Regulation’ (CUP 2024) by discussing how regulation has evolved in terms of goals and instruments. Regulatory studies have long justified the adoption of new regulations based on economic arguments, metrics, and quantifiable methods. But regulation is not only about numbers. It is about people and their everyday quantifiable and non-quantifiable problems. In this talk, she will discuss how regulators should thus consider race, gender, and different socioeconomic inequities in regulation and how this can be translated into modern instruments, methods, and theories of regulation.
Format: Prof. Ranchordás will give a 30-minute talk, which will be followed by a discussion moderated by Dr. Thibault Schrepel.
