The AALS Planning Committee for the 2011 Mid-Year Workshop on Women Rethinking Equality has issed a Call for Presentations, Papers and Posters:

We are seeking proposals for presentations, papers and posters for the 2011 Mid-Year Meeting Workshop on Women Rethinking Equality. The Workshop will be held in June, 2011 in Washington, D.C. It will appeal to a full range of teachers and scholars in all subject areas by creating opportunities for a rich dialogue about the meaning, contours, implications, and status of equality for women, with particular attention to women and gender in the setting of legal education. Conference sessions will focus on substantive law and scholarship, teaching concerns, and professional development issues. We welcome participation by all AALS members — and particularly all women — regardless of whether their scholarship focuses on gender.

While the workshop will feature several plenary panels about a range of issues implicated by the topic of gender equality, we also plan to include posters and two types of concurrent sessions. The first type of concurrent session will feature presentations related to one of nine equality-related themes, and the second will provide an opportunity for scholars to receive detailed feedback on works-in-progress.

Call for Presentations on Specific Workshop Themes.  The first type of concurrent session will feature presentations on each of the following equality-related themes:…

• Gender and Corporate, Securities, Tax, Bankruptcy and Commercial Law

We expect to select three or four presentations for each of these topical sessions. Each presentation will be about 15 minutes, followed by questions from the moderator and the audience.

Interested faculty should submit a brief written description (no more than 1000 words) of the proposed presentation, along with her or his résumé. The proposal should indicate clearly in which of the nine categories the author believes the presentation belongs. Please email these materials by July 31, 2010. We will notify selected speakers by October 1, 2010.
