ASSOCIATION
FOR THE STUDY OF LAW, CULTURE AND THE HUMANITIES - CALL FOR PAPERS
We
are pleased to announce that the Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Association
for the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities will be held at Stanford Law
School in Palo Alto, California March 31-April 1, 2017.
We invite your participation. Please note, panel and paper proposals are
due Friday October 28th, 2016.
The Association for the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities is an organization of scholars engaged in interdisciplinary, humanistically-oriented legal scholarship. The Association brings together a wide range of people engaged in scholarship on legal history, legal theory and jurisprudence, law and cultural studies, law and anthropology, law and literature, law and the performing arts, and legal hermeneutics. We want to encourage dialogue across and among these fields about issues of interpretation, identity, and values, about authority, obligation, and justice, and about law's role as a constituent part of cultures and communities.

Examples
of sessions we anticipate people will organize include:
History,
Memory and Law; Law and Literature; Human Rights and Cultural Pluralism;
Speech, Silence, and the Language of Law; Judgment, Justice, and Law; Beyond
Identity; The Idea of Practice in Legal Thought; Metaphor and Meaning;
Representing Legality in Film and Mass Media; Anarchy, Liberty and Law; What is
Excellence in Interpretation?; Ethics, Religion, and Law; Moral Obligation and
Legal Life; The Post-Colonial in Literary and Legal Study; Processes and
Possibilities in Interdisciplinary Law Teaching.
We
urge those interested in attending to consider submitting complete panels, and
we hope to encourage a variety of formats - roundtables, sessions at which
everyone reads the papers in advance, sessions in which commentators respond to
a single paper. We invite proposals for session in which the focus is on
pedagogy or methodology, for author-meets-readers sessions organized around
important books in the field, or for sessions in which participants focus on
performance (theatrical, filmic, musical, poetic).
Abstracts
for proposed papers should be no more than 250 words.
Proposals
for panels should include three papers (or, exceptionally, four papers). Panel
proposals should specify a title and a chair; the panel chair may also be a
panel presenter. Paper presenters may appear more than once in the conference
program.
