Law in Context Early Career Workshop
The International Journal of Law in Context and the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at the University of Oxford is hosting an early career workshop to be held in Oxford, June 12-13, 2017.
The purpose of this international workshop is to bring together scholars at a relatively early stage in their careers to support them in developing research projects and preparing publications to submit to scholarly journals in the field of socio-legal studies. During the workshop scholars will make a presentation, take part in discussion, and receive feedback on their work from senior research staff at the Centre and the editorial team of the Journal. The best papers presented at the workshop will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Law in Context.
