The conveners of the
2014 Law & Humanities Junior Scholar Interdisciplinary Writing Competition have announced the papers
selected for this year's workshop. Here's the announcement:
Each year we solicit papers from senior graduate students and
untenured faculty on topics in law and the humanities. The submissions
are then juried by two outside senior readers, and based on those
reviews the conveners selected seven papers and two alternates for
inclusion in a conference held in June where the papers are workshopped
by senior commentators in fields relevant to the papers.
