We have the following announcement [note the fast-approaching
April 18 deadline]:
The International Journal of Law in Context and the Centre for
Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Oxford jointly invite early
career scholars to participate in a workshop to be held in Oxford, June
20–21, 2016.
The purpose of this international workshop is to bring
together scholars at a relatively early stage in their careers to
support them in developing research projects and preparing publications
to submit to scholarly journals in the field of socio-legal studies.
During the workshop scholars will make a presentation, take part in
discussion, and receive feedback on their work from senior research
staff at the Centre and the editorial team of the Journal. The best
papers presented at the workshop will be considered for publication in
the International Journal of Law in Context.
To be eligible to apply, you must be either a PhD
student in socio-legal studies whose doctoral submission is expected in
2016, or a post-doctoral researcher who has completed a thesis within
the last three years. Applications from inside and outside the UK are
welcome. The ten best submissions will be selected and applicants will
be invited to the workshop.
To make an application you should send
a 1500-word extended abstract together with a cover letter with your
name and contact information, details about your place of study or work,
and the date of your expected or past doctoral submission. Abstracts
may be on any contextual work dealing with law and its relationship with
other social science disciplines. The deadline for applications is
April 18, 2016. Please send applications to Katie Hayward, admin@csls.ox.ac.uk.
