CALL FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS & EARLY CAREER WORKSHOP
|
“Finding Your Footing, Building Your Standing, & Challenging What’s Expected” The Law and Society Association (LSA) is pleased to announce the call for applications for the Graduate Student & Early Career Workshop, in summer 2022. The two-part workshop will convene first in late June, and then on July 12 immediately preceding the Global Meeting on Law & Society in Lisbon, Portugal. DEADLINE Applications are due November 17, 2021. Successful applicants will be notified by January 21, 2022.
ELIGIBILITY We welcome applications from students currently enrolled in graduate/doctoral programs in the social sciences, humanities, and law, as well as early career scholars who received their highest degree after 1 May 2019, including post-doctoral fellows, adjunct faculty, and pre-tenure faculty. Especially where career breaks exist due to family obligations, eligibility will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Equity, diversity, and inclusion as well as representation of the Global South are priorities for the workshop. GOAL The goal of this workshop is to provide a safe and welcoming space for mentoring and peer mentoring among a diverse group of early career law and society scholars. The LSA seeks to build intellectual community among each new generation of law and society scholars and to promote constructive dialogue about research projects. FORMAT The workshop will be divided into two parts:
Each participant will be required to circulate to their small group members, in early June, a draft of a paper, chapter, or proposal/prospectus on which they wish to receive feedback from other participants. For Part I, participants should be prepared to engage in intensive discussion of their own paper and the papers of their other group members. Throughout Parts I and II of the workshop, we hope to expose participants to diverse styles, theoretical innovations, and international publishing practices in law and society.
COST LSA will provide flat amounts of $750 US for participants who travel to the workshop in Lisbon. LSA is currently working on securing additional funding for participants to apply for on a need basis. To the extent LSA is able to secure additional funding, priority will be given to those traveling from outside the United States, Canada, and Europe. For those attending Part II in person, the cost of meals at the workshop will be paid for by LSA. We hope all participants will register separately for and attend the LSA Annual Meeting.
