The Faculty of Law at the University of Vienna is the oldest and largest Faculty of Law that operates largely in German, teaching law since 1365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit included teaching a class and giving a research presentation to faculty, Postdocs, and PhD students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Wilke will be teaching a fourth year seminar this fall on International Law and Armed Conflict (LAWS 4606). The course she taught in Vienna was short and intense: five days with two two hour classes every day. This gave an opportunity to try out some of the materials she plans to use in her class this coming year. The short and intense course was also an opportunity to build trust and have complex conversations about law, armed conflict, memory, and responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-7xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    <div class=\"cu-testimonial md:py-8\">\n        <div class=\"bg-cu-black-50 rounded-xl\">\n            <div class=\"flex flex-col-reverse md:pl-8 md:pr-12 md:flex-row items-center gap-5 mx-auto max-w-7xl md:gap-10 lg:gap-16 md:items-stretch\">\n                <div class=\"w-full md:-my-8 hidden md:block md:flex-[0_0_30%] bg-cu-black-25 rounded-lg bg-cover\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/2026\/06\/CW-Vienna-4-768x576.jpg); background-position: 50% 50%; transform: scale(1);\"><\/div>\n                <div class=\"w-full px-6 py-6 md:max-w-none md:flex-auto md:px-0 md:py-16 lg:py-20\">\n\n                                            \n<div class=\"not-prose cu-quote cu-component-spacing\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It was clear that the students, most of whom grew up in Austria or Ireland, approached the course materials in part through the lens of their own (and their families&#8217;) experiences with armed conflict.
