From the IELIG:
The International Economic Law Interest Group (IELIG) is pleased to announce its inaugural "Safe Spaces Roundtable" for junior scholars. The Safe Spaces Roundtable will provide junior scholars with detailed feedback from more senior colleagues on early drafts of their work. The Roundtable will be closed to all but the immediate participants and will be a confidential, constructive forum to develop ideas.
Junior scholars (teaching less than 4 years) and practitioners are encouraged to submit abstracts of works in progress for consideration by a panel of senior scholars by August 15th, 2011. Please email your submission to [email protected] and [email protected]. Your submission should have a cover page with your name, the title of your piece and your contact information as well as a second page that contains only the title and abstract. The panel will consider any topic in the field of international economic law but works must be works in progress and should not have been submitted for publication. The panel will choose 2 proposals and inform those chosen by September 12, 2011. Once abstracts are selected, scholars will be expected to provide a working draft to the organizers by October 1. The Roundtable will meet at Brooklyn Law School on October 21, 2011. The IELIG will not be able to fund travel to Roundtable.
