Call for Applications: ASLH STUDENT RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM 2022
The American Society for Legal History will host the ninth annual Student Research Colloquium (SRC) on Wednesday, November 9, and Thursday, November 10, 2022, in Chicago, Illinois. The SRC annually brings eight graduate students to the site of the ASLH annual meeting to discuss their in-progress dissertations or other research projects with each other and with ASLH-affiliated scholars.
Target applicants include early-post-coursework Ph.D. students and historically minded law students. Students working in all chronological periods and all geographical fields are encouraged to apply. Applicants who have not yet had an opportunity to interact with the ASLH are welcome, as are those who have never received any formal training in legal history. A student may present a paper at the annual meeting and participate in the SRC in the same year.
The ASLH will at least partially and, in many cases, fully reimburse students’ travel, hotel, and conference-registration costs.
To apply, please submit the following three items to John Wertheimer at: srcproposals@aslh.net:
- a cover letter that describes, among other things, how far along you are and approximately how many years remain in your present course of study;
- an up-to-date CV; and
- a two-page, single-spaced research statement that begins with a working title and proceeds to describe the in-progress research project that you would like to present at the colloquium.
Application deadline: June 1, 2022.
