CALL FOR BLOGGERS: ESCLH Blog (Deadline 11 FEB 2024)

The blog of the European Society for Comparative Legal History is the successful media outlet of our scholarly society. Since its inception in 2010, the posts and pages have attracted over 2,3 million views from Europe and other continents (approx. 22 000 per month in the past twelve months).

We intend to strengthen and enlarge the current team of bloggers, as we regularly welcome new collaborators and thank those who wish to step down after a year of dedicated service.

Candidates are encouraged to send to esclhblog at gmail dot com by 11 February 2024:
- a brief curriculum vitae (mentioning academic credentials and IT experience)
- a cover letter

Bloggers can be at any stage of their academic career (graduate student, PhD-candidate, postdoc, assistant professor, voluntary/associate researcher...). Familiary with legal history (traditionally but not exclusively in a law faculty or history department) is of course a conditio sine qua non. It goes without saying that a Society for comparative legal history is open to candidacies from all backgrounds, irrespective of gender, legal tradition or spatial contingency. We constantly strive to enhance the diversity of our perimeter of interests.  

Serving on the blog is not remunerated. Yet, bloggers receive a reduction on the membership fee of our Society, and are displayed on the blog, as a recognition of their effort.  

The level of engagement with the blog can vary depending on the person. We aim to publish one notification of publication, job announcement, call for papers... per working day, in order to keep the interested audience connected to our RSS-feed, this URL, X (twitter) account, or the daily mailing with follow.it.
