Call for Proposals for the Seventh Annual Equality Law Scholars’ Forum
November 7-8, 2025
LMU Loyola Law School, Los Angeles
Building on the success of the Equality Law Scholars’ Forum held over the past seven years, and in the spirit of academic engagement and mentoring in the area of Equality Law, we (Tristin Green, Loyola Law Los Angeles; Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Boston University Law; and Leticia Saucedo, UC Davis Law) are thrilled to announce the Seventh Annual Equality Law Scholars’ Forum to be held in Fall 2025.
This Scholars’ Forum seeks to provide junior scholars with commentary and critique and to provide scholars at all career stages the opportunity to engage with new scholarly currents and ideas. We hope to bring together scholars with varied perspectives (e.g., critical race theory, class critical theory, queer theory, feminist legal theory, law and economics, law and society) across fields (e.g., criminal system, education, employment, family, health, immigration, property, tax) and with work relevant to many diverse identities (e.g., age, class, disability, national origin, race, sex, sexuality) to build bridges and to generate new ideas in the area of Equality Law.
We will select five or six relatively junior scholars (untenured, newly tenured, or prospective professors) in the U.S. to present papers from proposals submitted in response to this Call for Proposals. In so doing, we will select papers that cover a broad range of topics within the area of Equality Law. Leading senior scholars will provide commentary on each of the featured papers in an intimate and collegial setting. The Forum will take place all day Friday through lunch on Saturday. Participants are expected to attend the full Forum. The Equality Law Scholars’ Forum will pay transportation and accommodation expenses for participants and will host a dinner on Friday evening.
This year’s Forum will be held on November 7-8, 2025, at LMU Loyola Law School, Los Angeles.
Junior scholars are invited to submit abstracts of proposed papers, 3-5 pages in length, by May 15, 2025.
Full drafts of papers must be available for circulation to participants by October 21, 2025.
Note: We urge submission of proposals for drafts that will still be substantially in progress in November 2025 over drafts that will be in late-stage law review edits at that time.
Proposals should be submitted to:
Leticia Saucedo, UC Davis Law, [email protected]. Electronic submissions via email are preferred.
