Center for Air and Space Law at the University of Mississippi

Take our University of Mississippi #Wintersession course Space Law and Heritage Law for Conflict Prevention. First-ever of its kind, this seminar explores the intersection of #SpaceLaw and #HeritageLaw, focusing on their implications for conflict prevention in an increasingly crowded and competitive extraterrestrial environment. As commercial and governmental activities in outer space escalate, the preservation of cultural heritage—whether terrestrial or extraterrestrial—becomes a critical legal and ethical concern. Students will examine foundational principles of both legal frameworks, analyzing how they can be integrated to mitigate potential conflicts over resources in space. Through case studies, policy analysis, and collaborative projects, students will engage in critical discussions on best practices for conflict prevention, the role of international organizations, and the responsibilities of States and private actors in protecting heritage in space. By the end of the course, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of how to craft legal instruments that harmonize these two fields, fostering cooperation and safeguarding cultural legacies for future generations. #WhyStudyAirAndSpaceLawAnywhereElse

Michelle L.D. Hanlon tells Noema Magazine that by protecting #CulturalHeritage in #OuterSpace - like the Luna2 landing site - “we can set the standard for other environmental protections, whether it’s natural heritage, or whether it’s a different concept of looking at the environment.” Read the article by Nathaniel Scharping here: https://lnkd.in/gWEgh-5t

I am extremely happy to share that I have been accepted for transfer into the Air and Space Law Program at Ole Miss Law! My time at UofSC has been fruitful, and it is bittersweet to leave those I have made close connections with, however I am very excited for the change.
