Aging,
Law, & Society Critical Research Network
Law
and Society Association Annual Meeting
Seattle,
May 28 – May 31, 2015
The Aging, Law, and Society Critical Research
Network (CRN) invites scholars to participate in a multi-event workshop
sponsored by the CRN as part of the Law and Society Association’s 2014 Annual
Meeting. The Aging, Law & Society
CRN brings together scholars from across disciplines to share research and
ideas about the relationship between law and aging, including how the law
responds the needs of persons as they age and how law shapes the aging
experience.
At this year’s
meeting, the CRN will sponsor two primary types of panels at the annual
meeting: (1) themed panel presentations
on topics selected by the programming committee; and (2) workshops in which
scholars present works-in-progress and receive commentary from an assigned
discussant.
Accordingly, the CRN encourages paper proposals on a broad range of issues
related to law and aging. However, we
especially encourage proposals on the following topics:
·
Comparative
approaches to elder law and old age policy;
·
The
interaction between elder law and labor and employment law;
·
Creative
and empirical methodologies for studying law and aging;
·
The
conference theme: law’s promises and law’s pathos in
domestic and transnational contexts.
In
addition to paper proposals, we also welcome:
·
Ideas and proposals for themed panels: In particular, please email Nina Kohn at nakohn@law.syr.edu if you are already planning a
panel that you would like to have featured as part of the Aging, Law, and
Society CRN; and
·
Volunteers to serve as commentators on works-in-progress.
If you would like to present a paper as part of a the CRN’s
programming, please send a 400-500 word
abstract, with your name, full contact information, and a paper title to
both Nina Kohn (nakohn@law.syr.edu) and Nancy
Knauer (nknauer@temple.edu). Please indicate the stage at which the paper
will be, or is expected to be, in May of 2014.
If you wish to present a paper showcasing a research methodology, please
send additional copies to Israel Doron (idoron@univ.haifa.ac.il) and Daphna Hacker (dafna@post.tau.ac.il).
Please
submit all proposals for paper presentations by no later than October 1, 2014.
Earlier submissions are highly
encouraged and will be given priority.
