The American Society for Legal History has issued a Call for Papers for its Annual Meeting in Atlanta on November 10-13, 2011.
The ASLH invites proposals on any facet or period of legal history, anywhere in the world. Limited financial assistance will be available for those in need—with special priority given to graduate students and post-docs, as well as scholars traveling from abroad.
Proposals for both panels and individual papers are welcome. As concerns panels, the Program Committee encourages the submission of a variety of different types of proposals, including:
- classical 3-paper panels (with a separate commentator and chair)
- incomplete 2-paper panels (with a separate commentator and chair), which the Committee will complete with at least 1 more paper
- panels of 4 or more papers (with a separate commentator and chair)
- author-meets-reader panels
- roundtable discussions
Panel proposals should include the following:
- A 300-word description of the panel
- A c.v. for each presenter (including complete contact info)
- In the case of paper-based panels only, a 300-word abstract of each paper (as well as a draft of the paper)
Individual paper proposals should include:
- A c.v. for each presenter (including complete contact info)
- A 300-word abstract of each paper (as well as a draft of the paper, if possible)
The deadline for submitting proposals is February 28, 2011. Proposals should be sent as email attachments to Amalia Kessler.
