ANNOUNCING: CALL FOR EMERGING SCHOLAR SUBMISSIONS

Law and Political Economy Meets Heterodox Economics:

Power, Freedom, Institutions, and the Law


Saturday, April 12, 2025

9:00am–5:00pm ET

Yale Law School

127 Wall Street, New Haven, CT 06511

 

At our Spring 2025 workshop, we seek to feature multi-disciplinary and intersectional emerging scholarship reflecting on the relationships between politics, law, and economics, and society. We welcome papers both on and beyond the general workshop theme of “Power, Freedom, Institutions, and the Law.”


Students and emerging scholars interested in presenting law-and-political-economy-informed analysis of class, gender, race, imperialism, and more, are welcome to submit a 100–300 word abstract with titles by March 9, 2025, via the following link: https://bit.ly/4b0hAxa. In keeping with a commitment to methodological pluralism, research utilizing quantitative or qualitative methods, analytic or institutional approaches, and other techniques from a variety of disciplines, will all be considered. We are especially interested in soliciting abstracts that cut across disciplinary lines involving economics, law and institutionalism, politics, history, etc.


We encourage proposals and projects at every stage of their development; completed papers are not necessary at the time of the workshop. If you are unsure if your proposal fits the submission guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact the organizers by mailing to appeal@politicaleconomylaw.org.


This workshop will take place alongside a one-day conference on “Comparative Legal and Political Futures: South Africa and Palestine”. The joint two-day event thus begins on Friday, April 11, at 9:00 am, and ends with the APPEAL workshop the following day. Friday’s panels will focus on lessons from South Africa and Palestine on the law and political economy of compartmentalization, law and political praxis, and gender and apartheid. Other panels will reflect on South Africa 30 years after apartheid and Palestine in Middle East politics. Saturday’s workshop will begin with a plenary panel on Third World internationalism today, and a masterclass on methods in law and political economy. We invite those interested in attending or presenting at the Saturday emerging scholar symposium to also attend the Friday conference.


If you are interested in presenting or attending, please note that, while the workshop and conference are free of charge and will include lunch and refreshments, we are unfortunately unable to provide support for travel or lodging.
