Where: Denver, Colorado
When: November, 6-8, 2014Deadline: March, 1, 2014
All informations on: http://aslh.net/
The 2014
meeting of the American Society for Legal History (ASLH) will take place in Denver, Colorado, November 6-8, 2014.
The ASLH invites proposals on any facet or period of
legal history, anywhere in the world. We also encourage thematic proposals that
range across traditional chronological or geographical fields. In selecting
presenters, the Program Committee will give preference to those who did not
present at last year's meeting. Travel
grants will be available for presenters in need. These resources will
nevertheless be limited, and special priority will be given to presenters
traveling from abroad, graduate students, post-docs, and independent scholars. The Program
Committee welcomes proposals for both full panels and individual papers, though
please note that individual papers are less likely to be accepted. The Program
Committee encourages the submission of a variety of different types of panel
proposals, including: traditional 3-paper panels (with a separate
chair-commentator); incomplete panels lacking either one paper or a
chair-commentator (whether 2-paper panels with a chair-commentator, or 3-paper
panels without a chair-commentator), which the Committee will try to complete;
author-meets-reader panels; and roundtable discussions.
All panel
proposals should include the following:
·
A single page listing the panel
title, the titles of each paper, complete contact information for each
presenter (including chair-commentator), and any special scheduling requests.
(Note that we may not be able to accommodate all scheduling requests.)
·
a 300-word description of the
panel
·
a c.v. for each presenter
·
for
paper-based panels only: a 300-word abstract of each
paper
Individual paper proposals should include:
·
a c.v. for each presenter
(including complete contact information)
·
a 300-word abstract of the paper
Please note
that AV equipment/powerpoint capabilities will be unavailable at the Denver
2014 conference.
The deadline
for submitting proposals is March 1,
2014. Proposals should be sent as email attachments to proposals@aslh.net.
Substantive questions should be directed to Joanna Grisinger (joanna.grisinger@northwestern.edu) or Mitra Sharafi (sharafi@wisc.edu).
Those unable
to send proposals as email attachments may mail hard copies to:

Student Research Colloquium (to be held Nov. 5-6)
In 2014, the
ASLH will host its inaugural Student Research Colloquium (SRC) in conjunction
with its annual meeting. The SRC will
offer a small group of graduate and law students an opportunity to work
intensively on their in-progress dissertations and law review articles with
distinguished ASLH-affiliated scholars.
The Colloquium will take place at the ASLH conference site in Denver on
Wednesday, November 5, and Thursday, November 6. In keeping with the goals of the SRC, the
Colloquium is limited to eight students.
The target audience for the SRC includes early post-coursework graduate
students and law students interested in legal history. Each participating student will pre-circulate
a paper of no more than fifteen pages, double-spaced, to the entire group. These papers will provide the foundation for
discussion at the colloquium.
Participants will receive stipends that will partially defray the
travel, hotel, and registration costs of attending the annual meeting. A student can be on the annual program and
participate in the SRC in the same year.
Students working in all chronological/geographical fields of history are
encouraged to apply.
To apply to
the ASLH’s Student Research Colloquium, please submit:
·
a cover letter
·
a CV
·
a letter of recommendation from a
faculty mentor/advisor
·
a two-page, single-spaced
“research statement” describing an in-progress research project (e.g., a
dissertation or a substantial law review article)
The
application deadline is July 1, 2014. Organizers will notify all applicants of
their decisions by August 15, 2014.
Please direct questions and applications to John Wertheimer (jowertheimer@davidson.edu).
Preconference on Emerging Fields (to be held Thursday, Nov. 6)
A workshop
on an emerging field of legal history will be held on Thursday, November 6th,
before the start of the annual meeting. Information about the topic and the
application process will be circulated in January.
