Evelyn Höbenreich

Evelyn Höbenreich is a lawyer (Dr. iuris utriusque) and habilitated in "Roman Law". She is head of the Section of the same name. The Italian Constitutional Court has awarded her first monograph as part of an intercontinental competition (Premio Boulvert). Her career is marked by many years of research stays abroad, funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Austrian Science Fund (three times), the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (twice) and the CNR. In Morocco, she was coordinator of an EU pilot project (women's and human rights). She was a visiting professor in Bilbao (Spain). With strong international participation, she and a compact team in Graz promote cross-sectional thinking (antiquity, gender, law) in a research series in several foreign languages. In her own studies, she pays attention to breaks rather than continuities, diversity rather than symmetry. Looking at neglected areas such as rhetoric leads her to insights beyond the 'classical' canon.

List of publications by Evelyn Höbenreich.

Here you can find a longlist of Evelyn Höbenreich's lectures.

► Marianne Weber's book project "Wife and Mother in the Development of Law", completed in 2018, gives rise to a symposium: "What remained of Marianne (and Max) Weber?" (working title). The results achieved and reactions in the specialist world call for a distanced examination. The aim is to engage in cross-disciplinary discussions with scholars from Germany, England, Italy and Austria that go beyond the topics covered. The contemporary impact and after-effects of Marianne Weber's most important work will be discussed in an anthology.

It continues the Graz Leda series with a further volume, in which M. Lentano, Retorica e diritto. Per una lettura giuridica della declamazione latina (Collezione Leda 11), Lecce 2023², has just been published.
