Description
The American Society for Legal History’s Projects and Proposals Committee supports new initiatives in the study, presentation, and production of legal historical scholarship and its communication to diverse publics. The program aims to bring new voices into the field, encourage novel forms of scholarly interchange, support pedagogical experiments, and seed new forms and venues for public history.
Supported activities include conferences, scholarly publications, museum exhibits, pedagogical experiments, and other collective pursuits. Conference funding may help participants who could not otherwise afford to attend. The committee particularly encourages projects that internationalize legal history, whether by broadening its study or bringing scholars and students from around the world into conversation. It also welcomes initiatives that draw a younger generation of scholars and students into the field.
