Via H-Law,
we have the following call for papers:
The American
Society for Legal History invites paper submissions from graduate students and
early-career scholars for a panel at a pre-conference workshop, which will take
place immediately preceding the annual meeting on Thursday, Nov. 8, 2018. The
topic of the workshop is Medieval Legal History, with medieval broadly defined
as between late antiquity and early modernity. Applications for the panel at
due June 15th.
The Medieval
Legal History Workshop aims to present the work of a number of scholars of
medieval law and society who are new to the ASLH’s annual meeting. In this way,
we hope to promote scholarship in this area of legal history and to encourage
medieval historians to attend the Society's meeting. The graduate student and
early-career scholar panel will be composed of four speakers, who will present
short papers of 10-12 minutes, followed by a robust discussion period
afterward. Besides this panel, the event will also be composed of two
longer-form talks with commentators, and a pre-circulated-paper workshop of
three papers with two commentators.
As such, we
encourage applications from PhD students, postdocs and VAPs who work on or with
law in the late antique and medieval periods in its political, social, and
cultural aspects and who have not traditionally attended the society’s
meetings. We notably encourage applications from any legal tradition of the
period, including (among others) Byzantine, Canon, Chinese, Islamic, or Jewish
law. The goal of the panel is to provide graduate students and early-career
scholars the opportunity to participate in the ASLH community in a more
intimate setting, present their own work, and make meaningful contact with
other presenters, attendant faculty, and other participants.
Applications to
the workshop should include a current curriculum vitae, a title and abstract
for the proposed talk. Applicants whose proposals are accepted will receive
some support toward conference hotel and travel.
Queries and
applications should be sent by email to Ada Kuskowski (akusk@upenn.edu) by June
15th, with the subject line “ASLH 2018 Graduate Student and Early-Career
Scholar Panel.”
