SUMMARY:Position Opening: Tenure-track/tenured open-rank faculty appointments in Legal Studies\, NYU Abu Dhabi\, December 1\, 2025 @11:59pm
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\nNYU Abu Dhabi invites applications for tenure-track/tenured open-rank faculty appointments in Legal Studies. The position is in principle available from August 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. \nWe will consider applicants from legal scholars with an active research agenda in all areas of law. We are especially interested in those whose research and teaching include international and comparative dimensions\, as well as private law. \nThe program in Legal Studies was established as an interdisciplinary program at NYU Abu Dhabi in 2018. It is situated within the Social Sciences and the Arts and Humanities. The Program offers teaching towards the BA with a major or a minor in Legal Studies. The Program teaches courses mainly in the common law\, but provides many opportunities to study civil law. \nThe major in legal studies provides for the academic study of the law in the context of a liberal arts education. We approach questions of legal doctrine against the background of broader questions of human experience. What is justice? What is Law? How is it organized? Who and what constitutes the arbiter of justice? What are the effects of historical\, cultural\, religious\, and national settings on law and justice? What are the legal issues raised by global concerns such as those about the environment\, technology\, and trade? Our students combine the study of law with the study of the core curriculum but also with many optional courses they take in the humanities and the social sciences. \nAbout NYU Abu Dhabi\nhttps://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/ \nNYU Abu Dhabi is the first comprehensive liberal arts and research campus in the Middle East to be operated abroad by a major American research university.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: International Conference “Poetry and Knowledge\,” University of Münster\, November 20-22\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nIn premodern Islamic societies\, poetry was one of the central literary forms for transmitting and disseminating knowledge. Poetry can be found in almost all fields of knowledge\, from Qurʾanic sciences\, jurisprudence\, grammar\, rhetoric\, and theology to algebra\, alchemy\, astronomy\, astrology\, agriculture\, cooking\, history\, geography\, logic\, and many other fields of knowledge. Thousands of copies of famous poems in Arabic that served or were used to impart knowledge can be found in libraries around the world. Only a few of these poems have been studied in detail; many more are completely unknown to us today. \nDespite the very limited research\, a number of general assumptions have been made about the poems regularly referred to today as “didactic poems”: They are often written in rajaz meter\, have a clear purpose of imparting a fixed body of knowledge\, are aimed at facilitating memorization\, and have little to no literary merit. Some scholars suggest that a reduced literary quality may have been deliberately chosen in order to focus on content. Some include a wide thematic range of poetry (Khulūṣī 1990)\, while others advocate a narrow definition and strive to distinguish between “didactic” and “true” poetry (van Gelder 1995\, 2007\, 2011). Previous research has therefore focused primarily on the formal and genre-related aspects of poetry\, which conveys primarily non-literary knowledge. Less attention has been paid to the processes by which knowledge is produced\, transmitted\, and disseminated in poetry. \nThis is the starting point of our conference: We aim to explore the diverse strategies used to produce\, convey\, and disseminate knowledge through poetry. This may include\, for example\, the composition and structure of the poem\, the choice of meter\, stylistic devices\, sonic and performative aspects\, and the use of a specific technical lexicon. We hope this shift in perspective will allow us to move beyond viewing such poems as “poetry without literary pretensions” and instead enable a comprehensive analysis of their stylistic\, structural\, and functional features. \nHence\, we would like to discuss the following topics and questions: \n\nKnowledge transmission: What kinds of knowledge are transmitted in poetic form\, and what strategies do authors use to structure and convey this knowledge?\nBodies of knowledge: How\, if at all\, does the knowledge to be conveyed change through its transformation into poetry? What is the relationship between the transformation of prose into poetry and the body of knowledge?\nAuthors and contexts: Who writes these poems\, for whom are they intended\, and in what contexts are they written\, read\, recited\, or commented upon?\nFormal and stylistic aspects: How are these poems structured\, what meters\, stylistic devices\, and sonic elements are used? What is the role of performance and reception? How do emotions relate to the rationality of knowledge?\nFunction and purpose: What are the functions of these poems? How do we know that their purpose is to impart knowledge\, and what other purposes might they serve?\nTheoretical reflection: What ideas about the function and effect of poetry in the transmission of knowledge can be derived from the texts themselves or from accompanying sources?\n\nWe invite contributions that deal with any kind of poetry that serves to impart knowledge or has been used as a source for the extraction of knowledge\, and we understand knowledge in its broadest sense. \nWe aim to select contributions on poetry from a wide range of disciplines. The selection will be based on a clear reference to one or more of the above topics\, and a precise indication of the fields of knowledge covered and the poems and/or source texts examined. In addition\, other aspects may be addressed if they seem relevant to the theme of the conference. The participants will be invited to contribute to an edited volume. \nLimited funding is available to cover accommodation and travel costs. Please indicate if you require such funding when submitting your abstract. \nIf you are interested in participating in the conference\, please send your abstract (max. 500 words) together with a short CV (max. 300 words) as a single file to Natalie Kraneiß (n.kraneiss@uni-muenster.de) by June 1\, 2025. Notification of acceptance will be sent by the end of June 2025. \nDate: \nNovember 20-22\, 2025 \nSubmission deadline:\nJune 1\, 2025 \nVenue:\nUniversity of Münster\nInstitute of Arabic and Islamic Studies\nSchlaunstraße 2\n48143 Münster\, Germany \nOrganization:\nNatalie Kraneiß (n.kraneiss@uni-muenster.de)\nProf. Dr. Syrinx von Hees (syrinx.hees@uni-muenster.de)

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: ASLH 2025 Annual Meeting\, Detroit\, MI\, November 13-15\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:From ASLH: \n“Call for Papers \nAmerican Society for Legal History 2025 ASLH Annual Meeting (November 13 – 15\, 2025) \nThe Program Committee of the American Society for Legal History invites proposals for the 2025 meeting to be held November 13-15 in Detroit. Panels and papers on any facet or period of legal history from anywhere in the world are welcome. We encourage thematic proposals that transcend traditional periodization and geography. The online portal opens on December 9\, 2024. The deadline for Pre-Conference Symposia proposals is Friday\, February 28\, 2025. The deadline for all other submissions is Tuesday\, March 25\, 2025. All proposals (except pre-conference symposia) must be submitted through this link. \nPanel proposals should include the following: a CV with complete contact information for each person on the panel\, including chairs and commentators; 300-word (maximum) abstracts of individual papers; and a 300-word (maximum) description of the panel. Only complete panel proposals will be considered. \nScholars looking to build a panel may post their potential paper topics here. We encourage individuals to peruse this spreadsheet to identify other scholars with common interests\, beyond their familiar networks. Senior scholars who are willing to chair and/or comment on a panel may register their interest and availability here. All program participants must be current members of the Society by the date of the Annual Meeting. Information on how to build a successful panel can be found here. The Program Committee especially encourages panels that include participants from groups historically under-represented in the organization\, and that include participants who represent a diversity of rank\, experience\, and institutional affiliation. \nIn addition to traditional panels featuring presentations of work in progress\, the Program Committee welcomes other forms of structured presentation for a 90-minute slot\, such as a skills/pedagogical workshop (chair\, 3-4 presenters) or a roundtable format (chair\, 3-5 presenters). \nFollowing last year’s highly successful inaugural session\, this year’s Annual Meeting will also dedicate a session to a presentation and discussion of Digital Legal History projects. Individuals interested in participating in this session should submit a short description of their project (up to 300 words) as well as a CV. As a complement to the session\, there will be a poster display of the accepted projects. Accepted participants in the Digital Legal History session will be asked to submit a poster design to the organizers by early October. Posters will be printed onsite. \nIn addition to the above formats\, this year’s meeting will also consider New Directions panels. The purpose of these panels will be to identify cutting-edge methodological and topical directions in legal history\, to define new subfields\, and/or generate dialogue among scholars whose recent books (published since 2022 or forthcoming) have tackled common historiographic questions. These panels will feature three to five authors of new books organized by theme\, chronology\, methodology and may also include scholars writing review essays of a field\, or others similarly positioned. The session abstract should include the author\, title\, publisher\, and publication date for each proposed book. Please note that the Program Committee will devote only a small number of sessions to this type of panel. The New Directions panels replace the Author-Meets-Readers (AMR) panels which were formerly on the program; AMRs will not be available for the 2025 meeting.” \nFor more details\, please see here.

SUMMARY:Call for Proposals: Paris Congress at 125: Comparative Law’s Entanglement with Power from Paris to Today\, McGill University\, Canada\, October 16-18\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:From the organizers: \nThe American Society of Comparative Law (ASCL) is pleased to invite submissions for papers to be presented at the 2025 ASCL Annual Meeting\, to be held at the McGill Faculty of Law\, Montreal\, Canada\, from Thursday\, October 16 to Saturday\, October 18\, 2025. \nThe meeting is hosted by the Wainwright Chair in Civil\, Comparative and Transnational Law\, in collaboration with the McGill Crépeau Centre for Private and Comparative Law. \nThe theme of this year’s annual meeting is The Paris Congress at 125: Comparative Law’s Entanglement with Power from Paris to Today. \nIt has been said that the Paris Conference of 1900—often regarded as the mythical founding moment of modern Comparative Law—was animated by a spirit of idealism\, the belief that thinking beyond national borders could contribute to human progress. Such humanitarian idealism found renewed expression after the Great War\, when the International Academy of Comparative Law was established to complement the League of Nations. \nYet even the published proceedings of the Paris Conference reveal another dimension of Comparative Law: its entanglement with power in an era of imperialist expansion\, an entanglement that was perhaps not an aberration but the flipside of idealistic universalism itself. Indeed\, throughout its history\, Comparative Law has not been confined to the ivory tower but has been an ally of power—and\, more than once\, its accomplice\, as underscored\, for example\, by the recent work of James Whitman. \nThis annual meeting takes its inspiration from the stories we tell ourselves about Comparative Law—its origins\, its legacy—and\, specifically\, the fact that this entanglement with power in varying historical contexts is often absent from our foundational narratives. We invite contributions on all aspects of Comparative Law’s relationship with power\, as well as the politics of Comparative Law itself. We welcome not only historical analyses but also\, and in particular\, reflections on its current role in today’s shifting political landscape\, where even established democracies face challenges to the rule of law. \nWhile the conference welcomes submissions on all aspects of Comparative Law’s relationship with power\, we particularly encourage contributions in the following areas. However\, these focal points serve as guiding themes rather than limitations. \n\nDemocratic Backsliding and Comparative Constitutional Law\nAs democratic governance faces increasing threats\, Comparative Constitutional Law plays a crucial role in analyzing both resistance to and facilitation of democratic erosion. We invite papers on constitutional resilience\, judicial independence\, and the global diffusion of authoritarian legal strategies.\nReconsidering Comparative Law’s Imperial Pasts: Colonial Legacies and Methodological Reflections\nComparative Law has long been shaped by Eurocentric perspectives connected to its past. We welcome contributions that critically examine these legacies\, challenge traditional methodologies\, and propose new frameworks going forward.\nTrade\, Commercial Law\, and the Promise of Doux Commerce\nTrade law has often been seen ­­­­as a means of fostering peace and cooperation (doux commerce)\, yet it also reflects global power asymmetries. We invite reflections on how Comparative Law shapes trade regimes\, financial regulation\, and commercial law in an era of shifting geopolitical and economic dynamics.\n\nSubmission Instructions \nSubmissions may consist of a proposal (a) to present individual (solo- or co-authored) papers or (b) complete panels related to the conference theme. \n\nProposals to present individual papers should include a 250 word abstract in the body of an email\, as well as in an attachment (Microsoft Word or PDF)\, sent to comparativelaw@mcgill.ca.\n\nThe abstract must reflect original research that will not yet have been published by the time of the Annual Meeting\, but which may have been accepted for publication. Authors must plan on having a well-developed draft paper based on the abstract ready for presentation and potential circulation at the time of the conference. Both the email and the attachment must contain author name(s)\, title of the paper\, institutional affiliation(s)\, contact information\, and three to five keywords. \n\nProposals for complete panels may be up to 500 words in length and should contain the same information listed above. Please provide relevant information for all proposed presenters\, along with a proposed title for the panel. Please also make sure that all proposed presenters have agreed to participate in the conference should the panel proposal be accepted.\n The deadline for submissions is May 31\, 2025. Abstracts received thereafter will not be considered. Kindly note that neither the ASCL nor McGill University is able to provide funding or reimbursements for travel or other costs associated with participation in this Annual Meeting.\n\nRepresentatives from official ASCL Member Schools who attend the Annual Meeting’s Saturday Business Meeting are eligible for reimbursement of some expenses in accord with ASCL policy and practice. \nSelected individual submissions will be grouped into thematically aligned panels at the direction of the ASCL Annual Meeting Program Committee. The Program Committee is not able to accommodate requests to present on specific dates or at specific times. The Committee aims to notify authors of a decision by June 21\, 2025. \nPlease direct all inquiries to the 2025 ASCL Annual Meeting Committee by email at comparativelaw@mcgill.ca. \nThank you\, \nAmerican Society of Comparative Law

SUMMARY:Conference: Law\, Culture\, and Humanities 27th Annual Conference\, Georgetown University\, June 17-18\, 2025 (Call for Papers deadline: January 31\, 2025)
DESCRIPTION:Call for Papers: Law\, Culture\, and Humanities 27th Annual Conference\, Georgetown University\, June 17-18\, 2025 \nSpeech Matters \nWe live in a golden or an iron age\, depending on one’s point of view\, for laws regulating speech. The COVID-19 pandemic forced governments around the world to reckon with floods of dis- and misinformation. The global rise of the far right has brought with it a need for new legal tools to combat threats\, harassment\, and hate speech. And in the United States\, state and local governments have attempted to suppress speech by or about unpopular subjects through means ranging from book bans to felony prosecutions. For this year’s Law\, Culture\, and Humanities Annual Conference\, we invite papers on how the law conceptualizes\, regulates\, commodifies\, or instrumentalizes speech (broadly defined not just as language but as expressive activity). In particular\, we welcome papers that use humanistic tools for making sense of speech and expression—concepts from rhetoric\, narrative theory\, aesthetics\, genre studies\, and more—to tackle new or persistent legal puzzles. \nSubmission Guidelines \nWe encourage the submission of fully constituted panels\, as well as panels that reimagine or experiment with models for academic presentation\, such as roundtables\, author meet reader sessions (which may include multiple books and their authors in conversation)\, collaborative presentations\, multi-panel streams\, etc. Individual proposals should include a title and an abstract of no more than 250 words. Please note that online presenters should organize a full panel (we will not be accepting individual papers for online presentations 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. \nMode \nThe twenty-seventh annual conference will emphasize the LCH tradition of in-person conversation. While we encourage participants to join us in Washington\, D.C.\, we recognize that in-person attendance may be prohibitive for some. To that end\, we will also accept the submission of virtual panels. Since we will not be providing technical support for virtual participants\, panel chairs will be responsible for providing Zoom links that will be listed in the program. All plenary sessions will be available streaming online as well as in person. \nHow to Submit? \nSubmissions may be made through the website the link of which is given below.  Creating a Panel: Contact Our Graduate Coordinators Early. While participants may submit individual paper proposals that the Program Committee will later combine into full panels\, we strongly encourage applicants to create full panels prior to submission. Pre-formed panels may cohere better\, and allow collaborators to craft focused scholarly exchanges. Panels comprising a diversity of institutions\, academic ranks\, disciplines\, and identities are often the most rewarding. If you would like support in finding others who might be interested in forming a panel\, please contact our Graduate Coordinators\, Aditya Banerjee (adityabanerjee@g.harvard.edu) and Jack Quirk (john_quirk@brown.edu) with “LCH panel” in the subject line. The Graduate Coordinators will act as intermediaries\, and may be able to put you in contact with others working on related topics. We especially encourage graduate students and those new to LCH to consider reaching out to the Graduate Coordinators if they’re struggling to identify potential co-panelists. Please contact them well before the submission deadline\, to allow time for follow-up. \nSubmission Deadline \n\nSubmission Deadline: January 31\, 2025\nDates of Conference: June 17-18\, 2025\n\nContact Information \nPlease email lch@lawculturehumanities.com with any queries. \nClick here to submit a proposal. \nClick here to view the official conference website. \nLaw\, Culture\, and Humanities Graduate Student Workshop\, Georgetown University\, June 16\, 2025 \nThe annual Association for the Study of Law\, Culture\, and the Humanities Graduate Student Workshop will be held on Monday\, June 16\, 2025 (the day before the annual meeting begins). \nThe workshop is designed for graduate students who are undertaking research that cuts across law\, cultural studies\, literature\, philosophy\, legal studies\, anthropology\, political science\, and history\, among others. The workshop is designed to afford graduate students the opportunity to experience the LCH community in a smaller venue with more sustained contact with one another and some faculty. The workshop also provides graduate students with an opportunity to discuss their research projects in a small group setting in anticipation of such things as job talks and publication. \nApplications to the workshop should consist of a current curriculum vitae (2-3 page maximum)\, an abstract of a current project not exceeding 700 words that explicitly addresses how it relates to law\, culture and the humanities\, as well as a short (5 page maximum) text relating to that project. This “text” could be a case\, literary work\, a time-line\, a photo\, a sound or video file\, or some other relevant text. The text you choose should be something that helps you reflect on the subject of your work and your methods of analysis. Please use your judgment and best guess in deciding how audio\, visual\, or audio-visual materials “translate” into pages of text. \nWhile it is possible to participate in both the workshop and the LCH annual conference\, the two events are separate and require separate applications. Should workshop participants wish to present at the conference as well\, they will need to submit a proposal here (in addition to their workshop application). Should workshop participants wish to attend the conference but not present a paper\, they will need to register (once registration for the conference becomes available). \nApplicants whose workshop proposals are accepted will receive some support towards an extra night’s accommodation from LCH as well as some support (varying\, depending on distance traveled) towards the cost of transportation to the conference site. While those who participated in a previous workshop may re-apply and participate again\, should space and/or funds be limited\, we will prioritize new participants. Please email your applications to lch@lawculturehumanities.com by January 31\, 2025. \nClick here to view the official workshop website.
