The Anthropology & Law and Law & Social Science Sections invite paper proposals for a joint panel on “Corruption and Legitimation,” to be held at the 2019 meeting of the American Association of Law Schools (New Orleans, January 2-6, 2019). How does government corruption work and what effects does it have? Equally importantly, what constitutes corruption in any given society, and how do we recognize corruption’s inverse, legitimation? The panel seeks to address these questions from a range of methodological and disciplinary perspectives.
We welcome proposals for papers that discuss, among other topics, local perceptions of government action; the conditions for its validity in particular places; debates in legal, scholarly, or popular work about what constitutes corruption; as well as research analyzing recognized corruption and its effects. We hope this panel will lead to a stimulating discussion about both the corruption in government and the malleability of the very concept of corruption.
Confirmed speakers include:
Mary Fan, University of Washington
Eugene Mazo, University of Baltimore
Christopher Robertson, University of Arizona
Mary Szto, Valparaiso University
We will select the remaining panelists through this call for papers.
Please send an abstract (around 500 words) outlining the paper that you’d like to present by May 1, 2018, to Anya Bernstein ([email protected]) and David Kwok ([email protected]).
