The Max Planck Institute for
Legal History and Legal Theory has asked input from legal historians for a
questionnaire on virtual events in legal history.
Dear colleagues,
After roughly one year of
covid-19 pandemic, working from homeoffice, online team meetings and many other
online things have come to shape our academic lives. Even academic conferences
nowadays are starting to be organized as virtual events rather than be postponed
indefinitely. However, no clear picture of benefits and drawbacks of virtual
conference formats has emerged, let alone a common knowledge about best
practices and about the many different forms that such virtual events can take.
At the Max Planck Institute for
Legal History and Legal Theory, we thus had the idea to launch a survey in
order to solicit the opinions of the legal historians’ community on these
things. This survey is meant to establish a glimpse of the state of virtual
events in our discipline: the expectations and demands of scholars, the traps
to avoid, and maybe even some ideas worth probing.
We cordially invite legal
historians of all shades to participate and fill out our questionnaire. It
contains about 40 questions in 5 groups/pages (General Questions, Activity
Formats, Socializing, Publishing, General Comment) and it should take you
roughly 15 minutes to complete. We will be very thankful for every response.
The questionnaire will remain
open throughout all of February, closing on Feb 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Results
will be published on our homepage (https://www.rg.mpg.de/) and announced or reported on at
various media like twitter, newsletters, blogs and journal sites. The survey
adheres to very strict rules about data protection, which is one reason why we
will not be able to send you a confirmation message or information about the
results individually (the questionnaire is simply not asking for your e-mail
address).
If you have any questions about
the survey, please send a message to dlh@rg.mpg.de and we will be happy to answer.
