I'm pleased to share the news that Michigan State University, the University of Michigan, THE Ohio State University, and the University of Wisconsin have created a Roundtable for discussion of new scholarship in the field of administrative law. Each school has committed to hosting the event during one of the coming four years, beginning with the first meeting on June 23-24, 2016 in East Lansing. Cribbing from the Roundtable announcement:
The Roundtable will bring together a mix of emerging and established scholars to present new work on Administrative Law. Participants will present their papers in small panel sessions designed to foster rich discussions with experts in the field and contribute to a vibrant Administrative Law community. Each panel will be led by a distinguished scholar who will facilitate the discussion. Confirmed commentators currently include Michael Asimow (Stanford), Daniel Farber (Berkeley), Kristin Hickman (Minnesota), Gillian Metzger (Columbia), Peter Shane (Ohio State), Glen Staszewski (Michigan State), and Kathryn Watts (Washington). In addition to the paper panels, a lunch program will address current issues in Administrative Law and institutional resources for empirical research projects.
Scholars wishing to participate in the Roundtable and present a paper must submit a one-to-two-page abstract by Friday, March 18, 2016. Applicants should include their title, institutional affiliation, and number of years teaching in the academy. Preference will be given to those who have been teaching nine years or less in a tenure-track position. Abstracts should be sent to Michael Sant’Ambrogio at [email protected]. You may also contact Michael Sant’Ambrogio with any questions you may have about the Roundtable.
Sounds like an intellectually ambitious, exciting event--and a wonderful way for new scholars to obtain feedback from established ones.
