FemLaw [a collaborative research network of the Law and Society Association (LSA)] is seeking expressions of interest
in presenting papers in its program at two interdisciplinary
international conferences being sponsored by the Law and Society
Association: the New Orleans LSA conference (June 2-5, 2016) and the Mexico City International Conference on Law and Society (June 20-23, 2017).
Early expressions of interest
are particularly sought from scholars in developing, emerging, and
transition economy countries – the LSA will provide travel and
accommodation funding for such scholars to enable them to participate in
these conferences.
FemLaw wishes to nominate scholars, researchers, and
policy analysts who are engaged in ongoing multinational and
interdisciplinary work on economic/fiscal equalities and who are
residents of low and medium income countries for this LSA funding
program.
Membership in the LSA is not required. (See the link at
the end of this call for country income classes.) Participants or groups
interested in addressing any of the following types of domestic,
regional, or international fiscal or economic issues from gender, race,
indigenous, cultural, economic class, disability, development, and/or
migration perspectives should contact us right away:
