Call
for papers for Crime, Justice and the Law Network of the Social Science
History Association, Chicago, IL, 17-20 November 2016.
The
Crime, Justice and the Law Network is part of the Social Science
History Association (SSHA) and linked with the European Social Science
History Conference (ESSHC). Historians, sociologists, economists,
criminologists, geographers, lawyers and independent scholars who are
interested in both historical and contemporary developments in crime,
policing and the law, are part of this network. The network’s purpose is
to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and
research across disciplines and methodologies. Many members of the
network attend the annual meetings of the SSHA and the ESSHC to
participate in sessions, roundtables, and poster displays that include
the presentation of papers and discussions on important books, ongoing
research projects and new research methods. The network prides itself in
having a global approach to research on criminality, judicial and legal
systems and encourages comparative perspectives on these subjects.
We
welcome full sessions and papers on a wide range of topics but we are
particularly interested in paper sessions that relate to the larger
theme of this year’s conference: ‘Beyond Social Science History: Knowledge in an Interdisciplinary World’. Possible topics might include, but are certainly not limited to:
- Use of Justice
- Restorative Justice in a global perspective
- Police and Community Relations
- Legal pluralisms
- Incarceration in a global perspective
- Segregation in a global perspective
- Interdisciplinary approaches in crime studies
We also would like to highlight the possibility to organize book sessions where the "Author meets Critics".
The
next SSHA conference is in Chicago, Illinois, November 17-20, 2016.
Information on the conference is available on the SSHA website www.ssha.org.
Anyone with questions regarding the 2015 program of the Crime, Justice
and the Law Network should contact the network representatives Max
Felker-Kantor (mfkantor@gmail.com) or Marion Pluskota (m.pluskota@hum.leidenuniv.nl).
The deadline for papers and sessions is 20 February 2016.
The
next ESSHC conference will be in Valencia, Spain, March 30 - April 2,
2016. You can access information on this conference on the ESSHC
website.
