REMINDER: CALL FOR BLOGGERS (m/f/x) [DEADLINE 31 MAR 2026]

 

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:

1. Is a researcher in legal history or a closely related discipline;
2. Is comfortable with digital communication, including familiarity with websites, academic blogging formats, and social media dissemination;
3. 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;
4. 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.
