We learned of the Call for Papers for ASLH’s
annual conference. Here the call:
Call for Papers
The Program Committee of the ASLH invites proposals for complete panels and individual papers for the 2019 meeting to be held November 21-24 in Boston. Panels and papers on any facet or period of legal history from anywhere in the world are welcome. We encourage thematic proposals that transcend traditional periodization and geography.
Limited financial assistance (covering airfare
and ground transportation only) is available for presenters in need, with
priority given to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and scholars from
abroad.
Panel proposals should include the following:
a c.v. with complete contact information for each person on the panel,
including chairs and commentators; 300-word abstracts of individual papers; and
a 300-word description of the panel.
The Program Committee also welcomes other forms
of structured presentation for a 90-minute slot, including author-meets-reader (up
to 2 book authors, with 2-3 commentators), lightning round (1-2
chairs, 8-12 presenters for a few minutes each on projects in a related field
at any stage of development), skills/pedagogical workshop (chair,
3-4 presenters), or roundtable format (1-2 chairs, 3-4
presenters). Sufficient information following the general guidelines for panel
proposals should be provided for the Committee to assess the merits of the
presentation.
Individual paper submissions should consist of an abstract,
a draft paper (where possible), and a c.v. Given the number and high quality of
panel and other complete sessions submitted, individual papers are much
less likely than full sessions to be accepted. Would-be individual
paper submitters are encouraged to connect with other scholars (through H-Law,
etc.) to coordinate the submission of complete session proposals.
The Program Committee additionally seeks
proposals for full-day or half-day pre-conference
symposia crafted around related themes to augment traditional
conference offerings. Please provide a program title, the intended length of
program, a program description, a c.v. and contact information for each
presenter, and any information technology requirements. The Program Committee
is available to consult with organizers of such symposia as they develop their
proposal.
As a general matter, we will not be able to
accommodate special scheduling requests, so prospective presenters, chairs, and
commentators at the main conference should plan to be available on Friday,
November 22, and Saturday, November 23. Prospective participants may
submit proposals for multiple sessions, with the understanding that, absent
exceptional circumstances, no individual may appear more than once on the final
program in any capacity. The Program Committee strives to include as many
participants as possible and will work with session organizers to identify
suitable replacements for any sessions from which a participant has to
withdraw.
The Program Committee encourages panels that
include participants from groups historically under-represented in the organization,
and that include participants who represent a diversity of rank, experience,
and institutional affiliation.
The members of the Program Committee are Ari
Bryen, Lyndsay Campbell, Li Chen, Kristin Collins, Hendrik Hartog, Kenneth
Mack, Renisa Mawani, Sara McDougall, Richard Ross, and Michael Willrich. The
co-chairs of the Program Committee are Professors Michelle McKinley (michelle@uoregon.edu) and Daniel J. Sharfstein (daniel.sharfstein@vanderbilt.edu).
All program presenters must be current members
of the Society by the date of the Annual Meeting. All proposals must be
submitted through the ASLH website, which will be available to take submissions
shortly. Please visit http://aslh.net for updates and additional
information.
The deadline for submissions is March 15, 2019.
Host an ASLH Conference
The American Society for Legal History’s
Standing Committee on Annual Meetings invites proposals to host or sponsor (in
full or in part) a future Annual Meeting. Interesting venues, affordable hotel
rates, tax exemption for out-of-state non-profits and reasonable funding
support for meeting events are highly favored in site selection. Contact the
committee’s chair, Joanna Grisinger at Northwestern University, by <email>
