Making Connections: New Works in Legal History Series
Sponsored by the American Society for Legal History
Deadline for Applications: June 30, 2025
The ASLH “Making Connections: New Works in Legal History Series” is intended to foster conversation and connection beyond the Annual Meeting about exciting new work in the field of legal history or likely to be of interest to legal historians. The series is hosted by the ASLH Committee on Digital Programming. Series Events will be 1 hour, 6-7 pm (Central) Wednesday evenings on Zoom.
Event Structure: Each event opens with a brief introduction of the work by the author, followed by conversation between the author and an interlocutor of their choice, and closing with conversation with the audience. In panels featuring more than 1 book or article, we expect the authors to serve as interlocutors for each other. There is no expectation that audience members have read the featured work; the format is structured with this in mind.
Eligibility: Books, Articles, or Digital Legal Histories published January 2024-December 2025
We encourage scholars at all career stages, both within and outside the U. S., and working in all geographic and chronological fields to apply. We welcome applications for events featuring two books or articles in conversation, and events coordinated with another professional society. ASLH membership is encouraged, but not required to present. Books featured on a panel at the Annual Meeting are not eligible.

- Book/Article/DLH Author, Title, Publisher (for articles: Journal title; for DLH: url) and Publication date
- Book/Article/DLH Abstract (1 paragraph)

FAQ:
- Does the same 1-page limit apply to applications for more than 1 book or multiple articles? Yes. We are especially interested in hearing how featuring the works together would make for an interesting conversation.
- Do I have to find my own interlocutor? Yes. Only complete submissions, including those with an interlocutor, will be considered.
