Concordia 2015
Call for Papers
Dear Members,
This is a general call for participation in the CLSA’s Annual Mid-Winter Meeting, which will take place at Concordia University’s downtown campus, in Montreal, Quebec, January 17-18, 2014. The Mid-Winter Meeting is a relatively small, informal gathering and a great way to connect with CLSA members from across the country and to get involved in the organization.
The broad theme for this year is “Engaging Law: New Ideas in Socio-Legal Studies”. Members are encouraged to organize round table discussions or panels around themes within socio-legal scholarship, including “law and religion”, “crime and punishment”, “indigenous legal perspectives”, “socio-legal methods”, “legal history” or any other research area that is of interest. Individual submissions for paper presentations are also welcome.
Please send a brief abstract or description of your roundtable, panel or individual paper (up to 250 words) to [email protected] by November 21, 2014. All accepted presentations will be given on Saturday, January 17, 2015. The board meeting will take place on Sunday, January 18, 2015. Note that all presenters must be members of the CLSA at the time of the conference. Registration for the conference is free.
We hope to see you in Montreal in January.
