WorkshopInspiring Legal Research: New Scholarly Horizons and Career PathwaysÂ
This workshop will be held on 12-13 August at The University of Sydney Law School
On 12-13 August 2022 the Sydney Law School will host a workshop showcasing research by undergraduate, Juris Doctor and Masters students studying at law schools around Australia and New Zealand.
If you are currently doing or have recently completed an honours thesis, an independent research project or substantial research paper as part of your degree, we invite you to present your research and meet other students, scholars, and practitioners.
Apart from presenting your work, the workshop will give you the opportunity to develop strategies to disseminate it by turning it into a journal article or making a contribution to policy formulation and law reform.
The workshop convenor is Yane Svetiev, Associate Dean for Research Education at the Sydney Law School. Invited speakers include Saskia Hufnagel (Queen Mary) and Colin King (University of London). The speakers will discuss reasons for doing an advanced research degree in law, such as a PhD, and the career pathways it can open up.
The research presentations will be organised around topic areas with a prize awarded to the best paper and presentation. We invite research projects in all areas of law and regulation, including private law, regulatory law, public and constitutional law, international and comparative law.
Expressions of interest to participate in the workshop is now closed.
Discretionary travel grants are available, up to $500, for those students who can demonstrate financial need.
