Eighteenth Annual Conference March 6-7, 2015, Georgetown University Law Center We are pleased to announce that the Eighteenth Annual Meeting of the Association for the Study of Law, Culture and the Humanities will be held at the Georgetown University Law Center, March 6-7, 2015. We invite your participation. Please note, panel and paper proposals are due Wednesday, October 15th, 2014 This year, the Association will not have a specific conference theme in order to encourage the broadest range of participation possible. The Program Committee believes that the diversity of the Associations members is its strength and that the themes that emerge from the conference should arise organically from the various interests of the members, without an overarching subject-matter directive. Accordingly, we encourage proposals of panels or papers around any of the broad themes that engage with law, culture, and the humanities. Examples of types of sessions the conference has featured in the past include: History, Memory and Law; Reading Race; Law and Literature; Human Rights and Cultural Pluralism; Speech, Silence, and the Language of Law; Judgment, Justice, and Law; Beyond Identity; The Idea of Practice in Legal Thought; Metaphor and Meaning; Representing Legality in Film and Mass Media; Anarchy, Liberty and Law; What is Excellence in Interpretation?; Ethics, Religion, and Law; Moral Obligation and Legal Life; The Post-Colonial in Literary and Legal Study; Processes and Possibilities in Interdisciplinary Law Teaching. However, these should be viewed as examples only. Any proposals that interrogate law as a cultural form or view law through the lens of the humanities are welcomed. We urge those interested in attending to consider submitting complete panels, and we hope to encourage a variety of formats, including roundtables, sessions at which everyone reads the papers in advance, sessions in which commentators respond to a single paper, and so on. We also invite proposals for sessions in which the focus is on pedagogy or methodology, for author-meets-readers sessions organized around important books in the field, or for sessions in which participants focus on performance (theatrical, filmic, musical, poetic). How to register: ASLCH uses a two part registration system (this will all be explained in detail on the website). First you register your paper or panel and pay a $35 membership fee. This should be done by October 15th, 2014, assuming your paper or panel is accepted, you go back to the same website (an email will be sent on that day to remind you) and pay the conference fee. All panelists will be notified about their acceptance before the new year. Here is the link to register: https://regonline/18thannualmeetingLCH A note on registration costs: You will probably notice in the second round of registering that the costs of registration has gone slightly up. We haven’t raised our prices in many years and felt that due to various economic pressures we had to raise them just a bit. We checked against other similar and related conferences and given that the 35$ you initially pay is subtracted from your later registration fees and that, in addition, you get the Law, Culture and the Humanities journal, we are still a bargain. If you have any questions about the rise in costs, please let me know at [email protected]. Here are the new prices and the amount they’ve gone up (if at all) from previous years: Graduate students—$35 (no change) under 75K—$100 (+$15 from previous charges) 75K-100K—$150 (+$25 from previous charges) 100K-125K—$200 (no change) 125K and above—$250 (+$25 from previous charges)
