Twelfth Annual LatCrit-SALT Junior Faculty Development Workshop: Call for Participation

 I want to announce the "Call for Participation Twelfth Annual LatCrit-SALT Junior Faculty Development Workshop," which will be held at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV on October 9, 2014.  Cribbing now from the call:

LatCrit, Inc. and the Society of American Law Teachers (SALT) are pleased to invite interested participants to the Twelfth Annual Junior Faculty Development Workshop (FDW), immediately preceding the SALT Teaching Conference.  This annual workshop is designed for critical, progressive, and social justice oriented pre-tenure professors, including clinicians and legal writing professors, as well as those who may be contemplating a teaching career.  However, we also encourage more senior members of the profession to attend, share their experience, and serve as resources and mentors.

The FDW is designed to familiarize critical, progressive, and social justice oriented junior faculty with LatCrit and SALT principles and values and support them in the scholarship, teaching, and service aspects of professional success.  In addition, the FDW seeks to foster scholarship in progressive, social justice, and critical outsider jurisprudence, including LatCrit theory, among new and junior faculty, students, and practitioners.  Finally, the FDW aims to cultivate a community of scholars interested in the continuation of this and similar projects over the years.

To facilitate community building through shared experiences and the exchange of ideas, we strongly encourage all participants to attend the entire workshop.

If you have questions about the workshop or would like to attend, please email [email protected].  Although we will make efforts to accommodate all interested participants, RSVPs are strongly suggested by September 30, 2014.  The registration for both events is open on the SALT website:  http://www.saltlaw.org/conference_registration/.

Someone should do a comparative study of the LatCrit/SALT junior faculty workshop and the Federalist Society's junior faculty workshop.

(A friend informs me that my comment above may come off as some sort of snarky criticism. It wasn't intended at all like that, though: I was actually just interested in seeing whether the events are similar or different, and in what ways.)

Hi Orin,

I took your comment as sincere and a useful suggestion. And I agree that such a comparison would generate probably a bunch of insights -- from what different groups are writing about (and what they think are issues that need to be addressed) to research methods to possible solutions.
