Call for a Blogger (m/f/x)
European Society for Comparative
Legal History (ESCLH)
The
European Society for Comparative Legal History (ESCLH) invites
expressions of interest for the position of blogger for
its official blog.
We
are seeking two colleagues willing to contribute actively to the intellectual
visibility and digital outreach of the Society. The ESCLH blog aims to serve as
a dynamic forum for scholarly exchange in the field of comparative legal
history, broadly understood as the study of law in the past across different
jurisdictions, cultures, and normative contexts.
Profile
The
ideal candidate:
- Is a researcher in legal history
or a closely related discipline;
- Is comfortable with
digital communication,
including familiarity with websites, academic blogging formats, and social
media dissemination;
- Has a demonstrable
research focus on, or strong affinity with, comparative legal history, understood as
historically grounded, context-sensitive analysis of law across
jurisdictions or traditions;
- Is committed to
inclusive scholarly exchange, and welcomes engagement with diverse
methodological, geographical, and intellectual perspectives.
We
particularly encourage applications from scholars whose backgrounds and
perspectives would contribute to further broadening and enriching the diversity
of the current team.
Role
and Responsibilities
The
blogger / blog editor will:
- Contribute regular
posts (e.g. publications, calls, conferences, vacancies);
- Help identify
useful announcements;
- Support the blog’s
visibility through appropriate digital channels (e.g; our BlueSky and LinkedIn-accounts);
- Strengthen the
connection between the ESCLH blog and the journal
Comparative Legal History (published by Routledge; indexed in Web of Science)
A
central ambition of this role is to enhance the blog’s function as a bridge
between ongoing research, the Society’s activities, and the journal Comparative
Legal History. This requires modest but regular time investment.
Why
Consider This Role?
This
is an opportunity to:
- Contribute to
shaping debates within comparative legal history;
- Increase the
visibility of emerging and established scholarship;
- Build academic
networks across jurisdictions and generations;
- Play a meaningful
role in strengthening the Society’s digital presence.
We
warmly encourage colleagues who may be hesitating to step forward. Expressions
of interest from scholars at different career stages and from varied academic
and geographical backgrounds are most welcome.
Practical
Information
Interested
candidates are invited to send:
- A short statement
of motivation (max. 1 page);
- A brief CV;
- (Optionally) links
to previous digital or editorial work.
Please
send expressions of interest to esclhblog@gmail.com by 31 March 2026.
For
informal inquiries about the role, do not hesitate to get in touch.
The
position is not paid.
