I send renewed greetings from the ESCLH and hopes for your health and
wellbeing despite the difficulties we face because of the Covid 19
pandemic. I write with the sad news that we feel we must postpone the
Lisbon ESCLH conference for a second time. Having had a wonderful and
fascinating event organised by the Lisbon team for 2020, with
outstanding papers from around the world, we had to postpone because of
Covid 19, with the hope of hosting in 2021.
Events have overtaken us and
to plan effectively we are postponing the Lisbon conference with the
intention to host it from 29 June to 1 July 2022. Everyone already
confirmed as offering a paper would have their slot for the next
conference, with the possibility of negotiating a changed title and
content, given the intervening two years. We will see if we can enlarge
the conference at all, to offer new spaces for new work.
The Executive
Council is very grateful to the Lisbon organisers for their continued
zeal for organising the conference, and to you all for your patience.
In addition, the Executive Council, in particular two of its
Vice-Presidents, Mia Korpiola and Annamaria Monti, have organised a
seminar series as a way to engage on core issues of comparative legal
history with all of you as our Covid winter hopefully turns to a freer
Spring and Summer. The details of those fascinating events are below,
with the first being on 12 March 2021.
A zoom link for that event is
provided below, and links for later events will be publicised
separately. After that seminar series we will host an event with our
Lisbon colleagues on 29 June 2021, details of which will be shared in
due course.
With all very best wishes,
Matt Dyson
President of the ESCLH, on behalf of the ESCLH Executive Council and
Lisbon organisers
