[We have the following announcement, which not only invites the submission of papers and panels for a scholarly conference but heralds the founding of Law and Political Economy as a scholarly and professional association. DRE.]
This conference is more than an academic gathering—it’s the launch of a space for scholars, organizers, and practitioners who care deeply about how law shapes political and economic power, and how we might build alternatives.
We welcome panel proposals, individual papers, and roundtables, from long-time law and political economy (LPE) contributors to those who are LPE-curious. Whether your work is theoretical, practical, or somewhere in between, we hope you’ll consider sharing it. And if you're not submitting a paper, you're still warmly invited to attend, connect, and help shape this new organization.
More information and the full call for papers is here. The submission window is August 15 to September 15, 2025.
To receive updates about the conference and ALPE more generally, please sign up for our listserv here.
Please pass this along to colleagues or anyone in your networks who may be interested. For any questions, you can contact us at lpeassociation01@gmail.com. We hope to see many of you in Richmond next February!
Warmly,
ALPE Planning Committee
