I'm very pleased to announce that Drexel Law School will host the inaugural meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Law and Society Association on October 19-20, 2012. The conference theme is Law, Society and the Social Good. Proposals are due by August 1, 2012.
The conference, like regional meetings of other scholarly associations (such as the Western Political Science Association) is open to all law and society scholars, whatever their address.
Candidly, one reason I'm particularly pleased that we're hosting the conference is that it gives us a chance to showcase our exceptional law and society faculty. Drexel has taken advantage of being a new school and has amassed a truly special cohort of young law and society scholars, including (but not limited to) this remarkable quintet: Tabatha Abu El-Haj, Donald Tibbs, Kevin Woodson, Scott Barclay, and Rose Corrigan.
Details about the call for papers are after the jump.
The Mid-Atlantic Law and Society Association will host its Inaugural Conference at the Earle Mack School of Law, Drexel University, in Philadelphia, PA, on October 19-20, 2012. Proposals for Individual Papers and Fully-Formed Sessions are welcome.
Our theme is purposely broad and encompassing. But we are especially interested in considering the manner in which knowledge obtained from socio-legal research can be used to understand and engage with the social good. Other law and society topics are welcome.
We seek papers, panels, and roundtables aimed at stimulating conversations that will build bridges across the range of law and society topics. We anticipate organizing different kinds of presentations, including both traditional panels for completed papers and workshops for projects and ideas still in development; we welcome proposals that let participants share and respond to intellectual projects in thoughtful and enjoyable ways. We are particularly interested in proposals that cross national, cultural, and disciplinary boundaries.
The DEADLINE for submission of paper proposals and other forms of participation is August 1, 2012.
Graduate students and junior scholars are especially encouraged to apply and the conference will provide targeted opportunities for networking and feedback for early career scholars.
We look forward to receiving your submissions via email to: [email protected].
