Biography

David Garcia Jivegård is a lecturer specializing in social law and general jurisprudence at the University of Gothenburg.

His ongoing doctoral project examines the role of law in producing social order and disorder, with an analysis of laws pertaining to vagrancy and local bans on begging. His research highlights the productive dimensions of law in organizing social relations and distinguishes between normal and abnormal behaviors within legal frameworks.
