We have the following Call for Proposals:
Law Culture and Humanities Graduate Student Workshop 2024
University of British Columbia
The
Annual Association for the Study of Law, Culture, and the Humanities
Graduate Student Workshop will be held on Thursday 16 May 2024 (the day
before the annual meeting begins).
The workshop is designed for
graduate students who are undertaking research that cuts across law,
cultural studies, literature, philosophy, legal studies, anthropology,
political science, and history, among others. The workshop is designed
to afford graduate students the opportunity to experience the LCH
community in a smaller venue with more sustained contact with one
another and some faculty. The workshop also provides graduate students
with an opportunity to discuss their research projects in a small group
setting in anticipation of such things as job talks and publication.
Applications
to the workshop should consist of a current curriculum vitae (2-3 page
maximum), an abstract of a current project not exceeding 700 words, as
well as a short (5- page maximum) text relating to that project. This
“text” could be a case, literary work, a time-line, a photo, a sound or
video file, or some other relevant text. The text you choose should be
something that helps you reflect on the subject of your work and your
methods of analysis. Please use your judgment and best guess in deciding
how audio, visual, or audio-visual materials "translate" into pages of
text.
Applicants whose proposals are accepted will receive some
support towards an extra night's accommodation from LCH as well as some
support (varying, depending on distance traveled) towards the cost of
transportation to the conference site. While those who participated in a
previous workshop may re-apply and participate again, should space
and/or funds be limited, we will prioritize new participants. Please
email your applications to lch@lawculturehumanities.com by January 31, 2024.
