The INTERSECTIONS Conference is thrilled to present Yale Law School’s first student-run art law conference on Friday, March 3rd at the Sterling Law Building in New Haven, CT. The theme for INTERSECTIONS this year is “Dialogues on Memory, Restitution, and Justice,” given the recent focus by governments, public institutions, and advocates on questions of repatriation and memory.
A talk in conjunction with the Beinecke Library building-wide exhibition, “Revisiting the Past—Imagining the Future,” on view through July 9.
Kevin Repp, Curator of Modern European Books and Manuscripts, will discuss items he selected for the exhibition.

Lyudmila Huseynova is a resident of the temporarily occupied Novoazovsk region of Donetsk region where she worked as a safety engineer at a local poultry farm. At the time of her arrest, she had spent the past five years caring for orphans and semi-orphans from the temporarily occupied village of Primorske. She was detained on October 9, 2019 for volunteering, espousing a pro-Ukrainian position (a blue-yellow flag hung over her house in Novoazovsk for a long time), and for her social media activity. Lyudmila was initially detained in the Izolyatsia prison, where she was severely tortured.
This paper examines hate speech and its associated risks for human security, focusing on user-generated content (UGC) targeting Roma and related content moderation standards, tools, processes, and practices. The Romani people have experienced systemic racism, discrimination, and exclusion and faced prejudices, stereotypes, and hostility across countries. These negative attitudes are perpetuated, broadcast, and intensified in online spaces in the form of hateful and racist speech or incitement to violence.
In the past few years there has been a revived interest in how international Communism affected politics and society in the Balkan region during the Cold War. Most importantly, new research has convincingly shown that Soviet control was not uniform in the region and that the cracks that appeared on the surface of the Soviet bloc merit investigation as they expose significant differences at the societal, political, and cultural level.
Lucio Gussetti, the Yale EU Visiting Fellow, and Principal Legal Advisor of the European Commission on International Law and on the Relations of the EU with the World, will be joined by Arne Westad, Elihu Professor of History and Global Affairs, to discuss an extract of his upcoming paper.
