Call for Applications: Law and Society Association 2019 Junior Scholars Workshop

The Law and Society Association is pleased to accept applications for the 2019 Junior Scholar Workshop. The workshop will begin mid-day on Tuesday, May 28, and continue through the day on Wednesday, May 29, 2019. The workshop immediately precedes the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Law and Society Association in Washington DC.

We invite applications from junior scholars in any field whose scholarly interests involve socio-legal studies. Specifically, we welcome applications from graduate students (including advanced law students), post-doctoral fellows, and assistant professors (or other pre-tenure faculty). The program will consist of panel presentations on professional development topics, breakout sessions to discuss participant’s research in small groups, and informal discussions over shared meals.

For those not reimbursed by their home institution for airfare and lodging expenses, LSA will offer up to $300 for participants from the US and up to $650 for international participants toward the costs of attending the workshop.

Although membership in LSA is not required, members will be given priority. Registration for the annual meeting is required.

For more information, see their application site.
