The European Society for
Comparative Legal History (ESCLH) is pleased to announce its first Postgraduate
Conference. The ESCLH invites PhD-students (beyond their first year) and post-doctoral-researchers
who work in the field of comparative legal history to participate in the
conference. The conference will be held from 22 to 24 February 2018 at Augsburg
University, Germany.
The ESCLH wants to overcome the
narrow nationalism and geographical segregation of legal history in
contemporary European scholarship and professional organisations. The society,
thus, aims to promote comparative legal history, the explicit comparison of
legal ideas and institutions in two or more legal traditions.
The first Graduate Conference
of the ESCLH will give advanced PhD-students and post-doctoral-researchers the
opportunity to present their research in the field of comparative legal history
to a panel of six leading experts. Furthermore, the conference will give all
participants the opportunity to build academic networks. The experts on the
panel cover a broad range of subjects: Ulrike
Babusiaux (Zürich), Mia Korpiola (Turku), Wim Decock (Leuven), Jan Hallebeek
(Amsterdam), Aniceto Masferrer (Valencia), Stephen Skinner (Exeter).
The ESCLH invites advanced
doctoral candidates and post-doctoral researchers to submit abstracts for presentation.
The abstract should be of no more than 300 words and give the title of your
research project, your field of research, and your personal data (full name,
email address, affiliated university, CV) to:
The conference language is
English and abstracts must be submitted in English. The closing date for
receipt of abstracts is 31 October 2017. 12 applicants will be selected and
invited to participate in the conference. Successful applicants will be
informed by 15 December 2017. Participants are expected to cover their own
travel expenses. Accommodation and catering will be provided without charge.
