We learned of a workshop series
on legal and social history at the University of Cambridge.
The Legal and Social History
Workshop welcomes speakers and attendees working on or interested in
socio-legal history, irrespective of period or location.
This workshop is for those
interested in socio-legal history. The interdisciplinary nature of this topic
produces a need cross-departmental work and thus this workshop welcomes
attendees from all Faculties. As a thematic workshop, we aim to connect students
working on different periods and locations that may have encountered the same
methodological problems and research questions.
The conveners are committed to
creating a friendly environment for students to test new research and ideas on
socio-legal history, irrespective of period or location. In Michaelmas, we will
accept abstracts from current PhD students, whereas in Lent and Easter we will
encourage papers from MPhil and first year PhDs. There will be an end-of-year
conference in May/June 2020.
We meet fortnightly on Tuesdays at 5:15pm in
the History Faculty Boardroom.
