The ASLH "Making Connections: New Works in Legal History Series" is intended to foster conversation and connection beyond the annual meeting about exciting new work in the field of legal history or likely to be of interest to legal historians. The series is hosted by the ASLH Digital Initiatives Working Group. Series Events this year will be 1 hour, 6-7 pm (Central) Wednesday evenings on Zoom.
Event Structure: Each event opens with a brief introduction by the author of their book or major article, followed by conversation between the author and an interlocutor of their choice, and closing with conversation with the audience. There is no expectation that audience members have read the featured work; the format is structured with this in mind.
Eligibility: Books or Articles published January 2023-December 2024
We encourage scholars at all career stages working in all geographic and chronological fields to apply as well as applications from international scholars. We welcome applications for events featuring two books or articles in conversation, and events coordinated with another professional society. ASLH membership is encouraged, but not required to present. Books featured on a panel at the Annual Meeting are not eligible.
