ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY OF LAW, CULTURE, AND THE HUMANITIES TWENTY-FOURTH Annual Conference
June 16-17, 2022
Atlanta, GEORGIA, USA
The Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting of the Association for
the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities will be held at Emory University
School of Law, June 16-17, 2022.
We welcome humanities-oriented proposals on topics
broadly related to law and legal studies. In addition, our theme this year is:
Unsettling Law
Law often resides in the pull between what is settled and
what is not.
Precedent guides us until it does not. Law’s stability is
in constant conversation with its own necessary responsiveness as well as with
what troubles it from outside of legal institutions. Disobediences, whether
civil or not, have the power to unsettle what is taken to be settled. And
forces like climate change pose challenges to settled law by destabilizing what
may make obedience and order possible at all. Law continually expands the range
of persons it recognizes, for better or worse, while it claims across all
changes that it serves the interests of all. Borders exclude but remain
permeable, and we argue about what is owed to others regardless of their
citizenship status.
States claim sovereignty and face refusals from other
sovereignties within their borders. Even settler colonialism is a process
rather than an outcome, so what is settled and what remains open to different
futures may be contested. How do and should we imagine law in these unsettled
times? What creative forces might we bring to bear in these moments between
past and future, whether for unsettling what ought to change or stabilizing
what is endangered? How might different disciplines, methodologies, arts,
literatures, and technologies represent, reinforce, or resist unsettling law?
We invite proposals taking up that question from a variety of
humanities-oriented perspectives.
The conference will emphasize the ASLCH tradition of
in-person conversation while making some panels available for those who wish to
participate virtually. Rather than hosting hybrid panels, there will be one
full session dedicated to online panels each day of the conference. Virtual
attendees can view these, and there will be public viewing rooms at the
conference so that attendees can engage in conversation with each other and the
virtual panelists. We will also host three plenary sessions that will be
available in person as well as streaming online. Some of the in-person panels
will be streamed during the sessions that aren’t online-dedicated.
All proposals are due Friday, February 4, 2022 at
midnight Eastern Standard Time.
Submission instructions: Individual proposals should
include a title and an abstract of no more than 250 words, along with 2
keywords from the list below.
We also welcome proposals for panels, roundtables, and
streams (two panels on one theme). Please note that online presenters should
organize a full panel (we will not be accepting individual papers for online
presentation this year) and that, though we traditionally accept most papers,
we may need to limit the number of online panels we accept, depending on
demand. Panels, whether virtual or in-person, should include three papers (or,
exceptionally, four papers). Please specify a title and designate a chair for
your panel. The panel chair may also be a panel presenter. It is not necessary
to write an abstract or proposal for the panel itself. To indicate your pre-constituted
panel, roundtable, or stream, please ensure that individual registrants provide
the name of the panel and the chair in their individual submissions on the
registration site. All panel, roundtable, or stream participants must make an
individual submission on the registration site. When submitting a proposal, we
also ask that registrants identify two keywords to help us align sessions with
each other.
Proposal submission is free. All proposals must be
submitted here:
