A Workshop on Legal Transitions and the Vulnerable Subject: Fostering Resilience through Law's Dynamism
December 8-9, 2017
Emory University School of Law
A Vulnerability and the Human Condition Initiative Workshop
There is a widespread perception that we live in a moment of change that is unprecedented in its scope and pace. Climate change, mass movements of dislocated persons, technological innovation, shifts in recognition of sexual and gender diversity, and new information networks challenge identities, institutions, and political coalitions. The law plays a critical role in creating and responding to change. A significant dimension of individuals' and groups' experience of change involves transformation in legal regulation. Relationships previously outside the law may gain recognition; the social insurance of risk may shift dramatically; entire legal status categories may disappear. As the law transforms, individuals and groups also transition across legal boundaries... Read the entire invitation and guidelines here.
Email a proposal of several paragraphs as a Word or PDF document by July 21, 2017 to Rachel Ezrol, email@example.com.
Decisions will be made by August 4, 2017 and working paper drafts will be due November 15, 2017 so they can be duplicated and distributed prior to the Workshop.
Call For Abstracts
Loyola University Chicago School of Law Wiet Life Science Law Scholars Conference
Friday, October 6, 2017, 9 AM - 5 PM, Chicago
Loyola University Chicago's nationally acclaimed Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy is pleased to invite original research submissions for its inaugural Wiet Life Science Law Scholars Conference on Friday, October 6, 2017.
The conference is designed to provide a new intellectual venue for life science professors, scholars, and practitioners to convene and discuss current research and scholarship. The phrase "life science law" aims to capture research and disciplines spanning food and drug law, health law, intellectual property (IP), biotechnology, environmental, administrative, antitrust, and other realms that involve the life sciences in some meaningful respect. Our goal is to foster recognition of life science law as a cohesive, dynamic, area of legal study and strengthen connections among national life science law scholars.
Loyola is currently soliciting 750-1,000 word abstracts reflecting early or mid-stage ideas for the purpose of workshopping with other conference scholars. Modeled after successful events for law professors and scholars in other areas, participants will be organized in topical panels of three to five authors with approximately 15-20 minutes allotted to each abstract presentation, followed by discussions with scholar attendees. Abstracts from the authors will be distributed one week prior to the conference; authors may also submit draft articles for distribution to conference attendees.
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW TIMELINE: The deadline for 750-1,000 word abstracts, including author contact information is June 15. Submit via email to firstname.lastname@example.com with subject line Wiet Life Science Law.
Authors will be notified of speaker selections by email on or before July 15.
COST: This extraordinary conference has been generously funded by Loyola University Chicago law alumnus Mitch Wiet (JD '65) and his family. Admission to the conference, including a one-night stay at a local Chicago hotel, meals, and a reception following the conference, is free. (Conference attendees must pay their own travel.)
FURTHER INFORMATION: Contact Professors Jordan Paradise firstname.lastname@example.com or Cynthia Ho firstname.lastname@example.com with questions about conference scope and abstract submissions. For logistical questions, please contact Janet Howe at firstname.lastname@example.com
ABOUT THE BEAZLEY INSTITUTE: Established in 1984, Loyola's Beazley Institute for Health Law and Policy has evolved into a nationally recognized center dedicated to the education of health and life science law leaders and policymakers, and to the study and furtherance of the field. The Institute publishes two journals - the Annals of Health Law and the Loyola University Chicago Journal of Regulatory Compliance - and offers more than thirty health law, life science law, and compliance courses. The Beazley Institute is a leader in online legal education, with more than 300 students annually taking courses through its Center for Online Studies. With the offering of the Wiet Life Science Law Scholars Conference, the expansion of Loyola's life science curriculum, and dedicated externship opportunities for students, the Beazley Institute looks forward to collaborating with our scholar colleagues to support the burgeoning discipline of life science law.

Center for Research & Policy Analysis Invites Applications for Legal Education Diversity Pipeline Grants
February 16, 2017
Deadline: April 10, 2017 (Letters of Inquiry)
The Access Group Center for Research & Policy Analysis conducts research and provides grants that address some of the most critical issues facing legal education today, including enhancing access to legal education for students from diverse backgrounds; increasing the affordability and financing options for students pursuing legal education; and expanding the value and relevance of legal education.
To that end, the center's Legal Education Diversity Pipeline Grant Program awards grants of up to $125,000 to current or proposed programs that conduct effective interventions to enhance access to legal education for students from diverse backgrounds, specifically historically under-represented minority students and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Projects should address the issue of enhanced access to legal education, at the national level, or encompass more localized efforts that might be efficiently scaled across institutions and regions for greater impact. Applications from programs that display a collaborative approach and strong partnerships with other organizations to achieve the goal of enhancing access to legal education are encouraged.
CRPA will begin accepting letters of Inquiry on March 1, 2017. LOIs must be received no later than April 10, 2017. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit full applications by June 30, 2017.
See the CRPA website for complete program guidelines, an informational webinar, and application procedures.
Access Group is currently accepting applications for the January 2017 cycle of its Unsolicited Grants Program
The Unsolicited Grants Program allows the Center to become aware of, and fund, new and innovative projects and research that further the Center priorities of access, affordability and the value of legal education.

Annual Comparative Law Work-in-Progress Workshop
April 28-29, 2017
UCLA School of Law
Organized by Máximo Langer (University of California at Los Angeles), Jacqueline Ross (University of Illinois College of Law), and Kim Lane Scheppele (Princeton University)
Co-sponsored by the University of California at Los Angeles, the University of Illinois College of Law, Princeton University, and the American Society of Comparative Law
We invite all interested comparative law scholars to consider submitting a paper to the next annual Comparative Law Work-in-Progress Workshop, which will be held on Friday and Saturday, April 28 and 29, 2017, at UCLA School of Law. We will accept up to seven papers for workshop discussion, and we plan to select a mix of both junior and senior scholars.
Interested authors should submit papersto Máximo Langer at UCLA School of Law email@example.com by February 1, 2017. We will inform authors of our decision by March 1, 2017. Participants whose papers have been accepted should plan to arrive in Los Angeles, California by Thursday night on April 27, 2017, and to leave on Saturday April 29, 2017 in the late afternoon/evening.
The annual workshop continues to be an important forum in which comparative law work in progress can be explored among colleagues in a serious and thorough manner that will be truly helpful to the respective authors. "Work in progress" means scholarship that has reached a stage at which it is substantial enough to merit serious discussion and critique but that has not yet appeared in print (and can still be revised after the workshop, if it has already been accepted for publication.) It includes law review articles, book chapters or outlines, substantial book reviews, and other appropriate genres.
We ask for only one contribution per author and also ask authors to limit their papers to 50 pages in length, or, if the paper (or book chapter) is longer, to indicate which 50 pages they would like to have read and discussed.
Our objective is not only to provide an opportunity for the discussion of scholarly work but also to create the opportunity for comparative lawyers to get together for two days devoted to nothing but talking shop, both in the sessions and outside. We hope that this will create synergy that fosters more dialogue, cooperation, and an increased sense of coherence for the discipline.
The participants in the workshop will consist of the respective authors, commentators, and faculty members of the host institutions. The overall group will be kept small enough to sit around a large table and to allow serious discussion. The papers will not be presented at the workshop. They will be distributed well in advance and every participant must have read them before attending the meeting. Each paper will be introduced and discussed first by two commentators before opening the discussion to the other workshop participants. Each of the authors selected for the workshop is expected to have read and to be prepared to discuss each of the papers selected. The author of each paper will be given an opportunity to respond and ask questions of his or her own. There are no plans to publish the papers. Instead, it is up to the authors to seek publication if, and wherever, they wish. The goal of the workshop is to improve the work before publication.
The Workshop will be funded by the host school and by the American Society of Comparative Law. Authors of papers and commentators will be reimbursed for their travel expenses and accommodation up to $600, by either by the American Society of Comparative Law orUCLA School of Law, in accordance with the ASCL reimbursement policy (as posted on its webpage.) We ask that authors inquire into funding opportunities at their home institutions before applying for reimbursement by the ASCL or by the University of Illinois.
Central Research Development Fund (CRDF)- FY 18 Announcement
The University of Pittsburgh Office of the Vice Provost for Research is pleased to solicit applications for Fiscal Year 2018 Small Grants Program, the Central Research Development Fund (CRDF). Interested faculty are requested to submit an expression of interest before January 13, 2017; the deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, March 3, 2017. Successful applications will receive receiving funding effective July 31, 2017.
The primary goal of the CRDF Small Grants Program is to enhance opportunities for faculty, especially early career faculty, at the University of Pittsburgh to engage in high-quality research, scholarship, and creative endeavors. The program is intended to provide funding support that cannot be obtained from other sources (including the faculty member's department and school and external funding agencies). Small grants provide:
- seed funding to develop ideas to the point where external funding can be obtained;
- awards to support scholarship in areas where external funding is extremely limited.
CRDF Small Grants awards cannot be used to support or supplement faculty salaries or for travel to meetings and conferences; computer equipment is not given priority. In the past, awards have ranged from $2,000 to $16,000. The maximum that may be awarded this year is $16,000. The CRDF Small Grants Program is administered by the Office of Research and the University Research Council.
Please refer to the current CRDF policies and guidelines for detailed information about the goals of the CRDF program and eligibility requirements. Please review the application instructions carefully before preparing an application. If you have questions relating to the CRDF, please contact Mary Grace Murray, in the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (Telephone: 412-624-9019; E-mail: email@example.com) or Ryan Champagne, in the Office of Research (Telephone: 412.624.7410; Email: firstname.lastname@example.com)

Social Science Research Initiative November 2016
The Provost's Office announces a special initiative to expand the involvement of social scientists at Pitt in research questions that can be best addressed through interdisciplinary approaches within the social sciences or that bridge social science and other fields, or, in unusual cases, for integrative approaches than span subdisciplines of a single social science discipline. T/TS faculty in social science disciplines in the Dietrich School, Business, Education, GSPIA, Information Sciences, Law, and Social Work are eligible to apply and must serve as the lead researcher. Research collaborators may be from other schools or units at Pitt or elsewhere. Collaborations that involve junior faculty are particularly encouraged, but mid-career and senior faculty are welcome to apply.
The goal of this initiative is to expand social science research; therefore only proposals for new collaborations are eligible to apply. These can be exploratory in nature, such as efforts to establish new research collaborations by inviting external speakers, creating a working paper series, or organizing a workshop. Proposals can also be aimed at building a research team, acquiring or collecting data for publication, or preparing proposals for external funding.
Proposals can request up to $50,000; however, it is anticipated that funding requests will vary depending on the nature of the projects being proposed. Funds can be used to convene small conferences or workshops; support travel to conferences; hire a Graduate Student Assistant (GSA) to collect preliminary data, review literatures, or assist on grant preparation; pay for research expenses or research travel; or engage in other efforts likely to advance social science team research and/or strengthen applications for external funding. Proposals to hire a GSA must include current year stipend rates (http://www.pitt.edu/~graduate/stipends.html) plus 50% fringe benefits. No funds may be used for faculty salary.
Proposals should be submitted jointly by two or more faculty, at least one of which must be a social scientist as noted above. Proposals should contain a 5-page (maximum) narrative that describes the project and its promise for developing significant and/or innovative research, a 1-page detailed budget, a 1-page bibliography, current CV's of all applicants, and a letter of support from the department chair of each applicant. Proposals from department chairs should include a letter of support from the Associate Dean for Research.
All application materials should be submitted to: Competition Space, the University's online portal for internal research funding opportunities, by January 15, 2017. Proposals will be reviewed and awards announced in February, 2017. Funds can be expended from March 1, 2017 – May 31, 2018.

The Supreme Court, Politics and Reform
The 2017 Pepperdine Law Review Symposium
Malibu, California—April 8, 2017
Announcement and Call for Proposals
Next April, the Pepperdine Law Review will hold its annual symposium on the question of whether the political deadlock over the Merrick Garland nomination provides a stark indication the U.S. Supreme Court has become an unduly political institution, and, if so, what internal and external reforms might address this problem. We invite all interested scholars to submit a relevant proposal to present at the symposium and be considered for publication in a special edition of our law review.
Confirmed lead commentators include:
- Akhil Amar (Yale)
- Erwin Chemerinsky (UC Irvine)
- Michael McConnell (Stanford)
- Hon. Richard Posner (by teleconference)
- Mark Tushnet (Harvard)
Speaking slots are limited and proposals will be selected on the basis of, among other things, how well they facilitate comprehensive coverage of the questions to be examined. Where proposals identify problems, those that also explore specific reform measures will be accorded additional weight. Selected speakers will present their ideas in breakout panel sessions, and are requested to submit papers for potential publication. However, due to space and resource constraints, not all papers will be selected. Except for meals provided at the symposium, speakers are expected to cover their own expenses of attending and make their own travel and lodging arrangements. Symposium staff will be available to make lodging recommendations and assist with other logistics.
If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please do so by Friday, November 11, 2016. Proposals and accompanying biographies should be no longer than one page each. They should be submitted to Sophia Sipsas at firstname.lastname@example.com. For questions about the conference, you may contact our events manager Suzanne Inman at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Works in Progress Conference
The works-in-progress conference will take place on February 2 and 3, 2017, at the University of Missouri School of Law. The purpose of the conference is to help authors develop draft articles for publication, so authors will be required to submit a working draft before the conference takes place. Papers will be circulated in advance of the session, and all participants will be expected to provide detailed feedback on a limited number of other papers.
The works-in-progress conference will also feature various networking opportunities as well as several substantive presentations on issues relating to international dispute resolution. Presentations will be live or by video and include:
- Lady Justice Joyce Aluoch, Judge and First Vice-President of the International Criminal Court in the Hague, who will be speaking on matters of public international law;
- Ryan Reetz and Pedro Martinez-Fraga of Bryan Cave, who will be speaking on their recent book, Public Purpose in International Law: Rethinking Regulatory Sovereignty in the Global Era (Cambridge University Press 2015); and
- Paul-Jean Le Cannu, Legal Counsel at ICSID, who will speak on the future of investor-state dispute settlement systems.
Papers presented at the works-in-progress conference will be eligible for expedited review by the University of Missouri's highly regarded Journal of Dispute Resolution as well as for consideration by the ICSID Review-Foreign Investment Law Journal. While submissions will have to go through the normal publication process and an offer of publication is not guaranteed, the editors of both journals are very interested in reviewing submissions from works-in-progress participants.
This is expected to be a very international event, and submissions are sought from academics and practitioners around the world. Junior professionals, including aspiring and untenured academics, are encouraged to submit proposals. To be considered, potential participants must submit a one-page abstract of their work on or before October 15, 2016. Details on how to submit a proposal for the works-in-progress conference can be found here: http://law.missouri.edu/faculty/wip-issues-in-international-dispute-resolution/conference/.

Reasonable Doubt: Epistemological Reflections on Jurors' Decision-making
University of Pittsburgh Annual Lecture Series Talk, Center for Philosophy of Science
Speaker: Marion Vorms
U. London Birkbeck College
Friday, April 22, 2016
3:30 pm, Center for Philosophy of Science
817R Cathedral of Learning (seating is limited)
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to study whether and how the notion of 'reasonable doubt' might be a useful concept to study belief dynamics and decision-making in general — jurors being taken as a model for everyday reasoners and decision-makers.
In Common Law systems, jurors in criminal trials are instructed to return a verdict of guilty if and only if they estimate that the evidence presented in court does not leave any reasonable doubt as to whether the defendant is guilty. Although there is no consensus about the meaning of this standard of proof in legal theory and practice, interpreting it in terms of a probabilistic threshold seems rather natural and sensible.
Taken more generally, the notion of reasonable doubt seems to be prima facie easily definable in decision-theoretic terms: whether doubt in a given hypothesis is reasonable or not (and hence whether action based on it is rational or not) seems to depend on the degree of confirmation of this hypothesis, and on a probabilistic threshold that itself depends on the decisional context (utilities). But is that all we mean when we say that a given agent's doubting such or such hypothesis is (un)reasonable? Isn't there more to "reasonable doubt" than the complement of "reasonable belief" — more than a probabilistic threshold for action? And don't we need something more than degrees of belief ("outright belief", or "acceptance") to account for our intuitions regarding whether doubt is reasonable or not in different situations? In other words, by approaching belief revision and decision-making through the lens of reasonable doubt, are we forced to amend, or complement the Bayesian framework by another level of analysis? The goal of this talk is to tackle these issues through the analysis of different examples drawn from the judiciary, the scientific, and everyday contexts.

This issue would be published in February 2017, with an article submission due date of November 15, 2016. If you're looking for a publication opportunity in a prestigious law journal and you have an interest in putting together an entire issue as a symposium editor, please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Ann Motto (email@example.com) for more details.
Junior Faculty Forum to be held at Yale Law School on June 28-29, 2016
The Forum's goal is to encourage the work of scholars recently appointed to a tenure-track position by providing experience in the pursuit of scholarship and the nature of the scholarly exchange. Meetings are held each spring, rotating among Yale, Stanford, and Harvard. Twelve to twenty scholars (with one to seven years in teaching) will be chosen on a blind basis from among those submitting papers to present. One or more senior scholars, not necessarily from Yale, Stanford, or Harvard, will comment on each paper. The audience will include the participating junior faculty, faculty from the host institutions, and invited guests. The goal is discourse both on the merits of particular papers and on appropriate methodologies for doing work in that genre.
TOPICS: Each year the Forum invites submissions on selected legal topics. For the upcoming 2016 meeting, the topics will cover the following areas of the law:
- Administrative Law
- Constitutional Law – theoretical foundations
- Constitutional Law – historical foundations
- Criminal Law
- Critical Legal Studies
- Environmental Law
- Family Law
- Jurisprudence and Philosophy
- Law and Humanities
- Public International Law
- Race/Gender Studies/Antidiscrimination
- Workplace Law and Social Welfare Policy
A jury of accomplished scholars, again not necessarily from Yale, Stanford or Harvard, with expertise in the particular topic, will choose the papers to be presented. There is no publication commitment, nor is previously published work eligible.

TLW-Glossæ | Gloss Writing, Law and Critical Thought
TLW-Glossæ is an ongoing platform for gloss-writing about legal concepts in different languages, their histories and genealogies, and their different forms across cultures and languages. This CFP, or CFG ("call for glosses"), is intended to initiate the project by creating a select first set of concepts. This is a peer-reviewed project. The selected glosses will be first published in a monographic issue of Digital Philology, and then migrated to TLW-Glossæ, where they will be geolocalized and chronogrammed. Deadline for submission, Mar. 1, 2016. For more information on how to submit, visit laic.columbia.edu.
2016 First Amendment Gerrymander Standard Writing Competition
Due March 27, 2016
In December 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling in Shapiro v. McManus allowing a First Amendment challenge to Maryland's congressional districts to move forward. Separately, a three-judge federal district court panel rejected a motion to dismiss in Whitford v. Nichol, a case challenging Wisconsin's state legislative Assembly districts. These cases challenging partisan gerrymanders have potentially significant consequences for fair democratic representation. Either could open the door to a ruling against political gerrymandering that leads to its demise.
The Supreme Court has long suggested there is a limit for what is acceptable partisan gerrymandering, but like obscenity, so far the line is undefined and left to courts to know it when they see it. The Court has said that it is willing to hear constitutional challenges to partisan gerrymandering, but existing legal theories have been insufficient to empower citizens and advocates with the tools they need to overturn partisan gerrymanders in court. Common Cause's 2016 "Gerrymander Standard" Writing Competition is your chance to change that.
For the second year, we invite legal and social science practitioners, scholars, and students to submit papers that will identify partisan gerrymanders and distinguish them from districts drawn using neutral redistricting principles while developing legal theories or arguments that could be used by courts to declare partisan gerrymanders unconstitutional. This year, we are asking authors to focus specifically on the First Amendment issue in Shapiro and Whitford to demonstrate why the drawing of Maryland's congressional districts or Wisconsin's Assembly districts is a partisan gerrymander that should be condemned under the First Amendment. Winning papers are selected by a distinguished panel of democracy scholars. For contest updates, go to www.commoncause.org/gerrymanderstandard.
Winning Authors Receive:
- Prize money: 1st place: $5,000, 2nd place: $3,000, 3rd place: $2,000
- Publication in a leading academic journal
- Payment of travel expenses to present papers at a national redistricting reform symposium
See submission requirements here.
Questions can be directed to Dan Vicuna at (213) 623-1216 or email@example.com.

Special Initiative to Promote Scholarly Activities in the Humanities
As part of the Year of the Humanities at Pitt, the Provost's Office announces a special initiative to support significant and innovative scholarship in the humanities and creative arts. Individual or groups of T/TS faculty at all ranks in the Humanities at Pitt are invited to submit proposals for new scholarly projects or to advance existing efforts. Joint proposals with faculty outside the Humanities will be considered if a Humanities faculty member(s) is the lead scholar(s). Faculty members may apply for funds through this initiative and through the Central Research Development Fund in the same year for different research projects or extensions of the same project. Please note that requests by faculty members in the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences to fund conferences in support of faculty scholarship may be more appropriately directed to the Faculty Research and Scholarship Program (FRSP) in the Dietrich School.
A proposal can request up to $20,000, but most will be funded at $5,000 or less. Funds may be used for research expenses as consistent with university policies, such as travel to archives, acquisition of materials, student research assistance, or technical support. Proposals that include hiring a Graduate Student Assistant (GSA) for a summer or term must include current year stipend rates (http://www.pitt.edu/~graduate/stipends.html) plus 50% fringe benefits. No funds may be used for faculty salary.
Proposals should contain a 5-page (maximum) narrative that describes the project and its contribution to scholarship, a 1-page detailed budget, a 1-page bibliography, current CV's of all applicants, and a letter of support from the departmental chair(s). Proposals from department chairs should include a letter of support from the Associate Dean for Research. All application materials should be submitted as a single pdf document emailed to Mary Grace Murray email@example.com, assistant to Vice Provost Mark Redfern, by November 6, 2015.
Proposals will be reviewed and awards announced in December 2015. Funds can be expended from January 1 – December 31, 2016.

Feminist Legal Theory Collaborative Research Network at the Law and Society Association Annual Meeting
New Orleans, Louisiana, June 2-5, 2016; Submission Deadline (abstract/summary): September 18, 2015
This is an invitation to participate in panels sponsored by the Feminist Legal Theory Collaborative Research Network (CRN) at the Law and Society Association (LSA) Annual Meeting in 2016.
Information about the Law and Society meeting (including registration and hotel information) is at: www.lawandsociety.org/NewOrleans2016/neworleans2016.html.
Within Law and Society, the Feminist Legal Theory CRN seeks to bring together scholars across a range of fields who are interested in feminist legal theory. There is no pre-set theme to which papers must conform. We would be especially happy to see proposals that fit in with the LSA conference theme, which is the role of law and legal institutions in sustaining, creating, interrogating, and ameliorating inequalities. We welcome proposals that would permit us to collaborate with other CRNs, such as the Critical Research on Race and the Law CRN or the Gender, Sexuality and the Law CRN. Also, because the LSA meeting attracts scholars from other disciplines, we welcome multidisciplinary proposals.
Our goal is to stimulate focused discussion of papers on which scholars are currently working. Thus, while proposals may reference work that is well on the way to publication, we are particularly eager to solicit proposals for works-in-progress that are at an earlier stage and will benefit from the discussion that the panels will provide.
A committee of the CRN will assign individual papers to panels based on subject. Our panels will use the LSA format, which requires four papers, but we will continue our custom of assigning a chair for the panel and a commentator for each individual paper. As a condition of participating as a panelist, you must also agree to serve as a chair or commentator for another panel or participant. We will of course take into account your scheduling and topic preferences to the degree possible.
The duties of a chair are to organize the panel logistically, including registering it online with the LSA, and moderating the panel. The chair will develop a 100-250 word description for the session and submit the session proposal to LSA before their upcoming deadline on October 15, so that each panelist can submit his or her proposal, using the panel number assigned. Chairs will also be responsible for assigning commentators but may wait to do so until panels have been scheduled later this winter. The duties of a commentator are to read one paper and provide verbal comments as well as brief written (email is fine) comments.
If you would like to present a paper as part of a CRN panel, please email an abstract or summary, along with your name and a title, to Jessica Clarke at firstname.lastname@example.com. There is no need to upload the document to the TWEN site this year. Note that LSA is imposing a new requirement that your summary be at least 1,000 words long. Although a shorter summary will suffice for our purposes, you will be required to upload a 1,000 word summary in advance of LSA's deadline on October 15. If you are already planning a LSA session with at least four panelists (and papers) that you would like to see included in the Feminist Legal Theory CRN, please let Jessica know.
In addition to these panels, we may try to use some of the other formats that the LSA provides: the "author meets readers" format, salon, or the roundtable discussion. If you have an idea that you think would work well in one of these formats, please let us know. Please note that for roundtables, organizers are now required to provide a 500 word summary of the topic and the contributions they expect the proposed participants to make. Please also note that LSA rules limit you to participating only once as a paper panelist or roundtable participant.
Please submit all proposals by Friday, September 18. This will permit us to organize panels and submit them prior to the LSA's deadline on October 15. In the past, we have attempted to accommodate as many panelists as possible, but have been unable to accept all proposals. If we are unable to accept your proposal for the CRN, we will notify you by early October so that you can submit an independent proposal to LSA.
We hope you'll join us in New Orleans to discuss the scholarship in which we are all engaged and connect with others doing work on feminism and gender.
Junior Faculty Call for Papers: Northeastern University School of Law Second Annual Legal Scholarship 4.0 Conference, Tackling the Urban Core Puzzle
Boston, Massachusetts, October 29-31, 2015; Submission deadline (abstract): August 31, 2015
Northeastern University School of Law's second annual Legal Scholarship 4.0 conference will continue to explore the frontiers of applied theory by examining contemporary approaches to economic development in American cities and their often distressed urban cores. Even as American metropolises have begun to pull themselves out of the Great Recession, the neighborhoods at their cores generally remain underdeveloped and impoverished. They contribute significantly to the worsening inequality gap in the United States. They appear to be entrenched sites of market failure and economic distress. By examining a range of contemporary models aimed to improve worker participation, Financial services, property access, business competition and the development of business and personal assets and wealth, this conference will explore new connections between law and development in the urban core. Plenary speakers include Frank Pasquale (University of Maryland Carey School of Law), J. Phillip Thompson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture & Planning), Anthony Townsend (New York University, Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management), Scott Cummings (UCLA School of Law), Nestor Davidson (Fordham Law School) and Judith Scott (General Counsel to the Service Employees International Union).
The conference will advance the agenda of the Legal Scholarship 4.0 series at Northeastern University School of Law by focusing on two interrelated issues: audience and methodology. By engaging with scholars who use a range of methodologies, including qualitative empiricism, interdisciplinary collaboration and scholarship embedded in ongoing partnerships "in the Field," we will explore new and developing models for applied theory that are intended to reach a broader range of audiences.
While Friday's focus will be on urban development, the Saturday workshop will include works-in- progress by junior scholars exploring a range of substantive areas. Northeastern invites junior scholars (those who have spent 7 years or fewer as full-time law professors) to share their works- in-progress.
Breakout works-in-progress sessions will include a comment on each paper by senior faculty, and discussion by fellow panelists and conference participants. Conversations will continue throughout the conference at breakfast and lunch (provided), as well as during the speakers' dinner. Interested junior faculty members are invited to submit an abstract (not to exceed 500 words) of the project they would like to present by August 31, 2015, to Professor Rashmi Dyal-Chand, firstname.lastname@example.com. The chosen participants will be expected to submit completed paper drafts by September 9, 2015, and to participate in the entirety of the conference.

Subject areas may include, but are not limited to, civil procedure, complex litigation, evidence, federal courts, judicial decision-making, alternative dispute resolution, remedies, and conflict of laws. In keeping with the intellectual breadth of the Branstetter Program faculty, the Workshop welcomes all scholarly methodologies, from traditional doctrinal analysis to quantitative or experimental approaches.
- Author qualifications. To be eligible to submit a paper, scholars must currently hold either a faculty position or a fellowship. We will consider co-authored papers.
- Format / Anonymity. We will consider preliminary drafts, drafts under submission, or accepted papers that will not be published before June 1, 2016. Papers should be formatted either in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat. To maintain the anonymity of the process, please remove any self-identifying information from the submission.
- Deadline. Submissions should be e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com no later than January 1, 2016. Please include your name, current position, and contact information in the e-mail accompanying the submission. We will contact you with our decision by February 15.

If you have any questions, please email Branstetter Program Director, Professor Tracey George (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Being Human: The Year of the Humanities in the University
The provost has named the academic year 2015-16 The Year of the Humanities in the University. The purpose of the year is to highlight the fundamental importance of humanistic thinking in research and education not only in humanities departments but also across the whole range of University schools and departments. The organizing committee invites faculty, staff, and students to submit proposals under the overarching theme, "Being Human."
We are inviting members of the many disciplines and professions of the University to reflect on how their work as scholars, teachers, and learners addresses what it is to be human. We're excited about exploring places where the humanities and other disciplines intersect and fostering new conversations among them.
We invite faculty, staff, and students from across the University to bring their knowledge and methods of inquiry to address the theme of Being Human by submitting proposals that address one or more of the following questions:
- How can studying the arts and humanities improve creativity and innovation in other fields?
- Many disciplines study aspects of human being. What aspects do they focus on? What do they have to say to one another?
- Some disciplines study worlds other than the human. How do their inquiries engage in/with humanistic thinking?
- How do the professions understand being human? What can the various professional schools learn from the humanities? What can the humanities learn from the professions?
- How can the values, methods, and opportunities of the humanities be made visible, legible, and exciting to Pitt undergraduates, the Pittsburgh community, and the wider public?
- What are the most urgent questions now for human beings/being human and how are the disciplines and professions at Pitt addressing them? How could they collaborate more fruitfully?
To support the Year of the Humanities in the University, the provost's office invites written requests for matching funds up to $5,000 to support events and programs that address these or related questions. Proposals should address the theme of the humanities in the University and bring together multiple schools or units. Proposals that aim to create a foundation for conversation that will extend beyond the academic year 2015-16 are particularly welcome.
Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis beginning immediately, and should be submitted via the form available here.

Healthy people
The Alliance strategy works towards four key results.
Result 1 is healthy people, which we are achieving through increasing access to quality HIV and health programmes.
- Versión española disponible aquí (Spanish available here).
- Version française disponible ici (French available here).
Across the Alliance we have committed ourselves to increase the coverage, scope and quality of HIV and integrated health programmes. Our results demonstrate how we have prioritised programmes that prevent HIV infection, increase access to HIV testing and counselling, provide care and support, and improve access and adherence to antiretroviral treatment.
The results also show how we have promoted integration of HIV prevention and care into sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and tuberculosis (TB) services. We also have a growing focus on HIV and hepatitis C co-infection and worked to create an enabling social and legal environment for HIV services, especially for key populations.
2015 milestones
- 1,182,364 adults and children with HIV provided with care and support
2015 milestone exceeded (800,000)
Globally, our coverage under this indicator expanded from 17 countries in 2014 to 21 in 2015. This community-led support to people enrolled in care and treatment programmes was largely driven by the Global Fund Vihaan programme, being implemented by India HIV/AIDS Alliance which reached 903,243 people. The Networking HIV/AIDS Community of South Africa (NACOSA) in South Africa are the second largest provider of care and support services, with 148,458 people living with HIV benefiting from their services in the country with the highest prevalence globally.
- 1,013,299 people received HIV testing and counselling services and received their results
2015 milestone exceeded (740,000)
- 1,599,157 people reached with integrated HIV and SRHR services
2015 milestone exceeded (1,100,000)
You can see the learning from an Alliance-led SRHR programme with adolescents here.
- 1,307,279 people from key populations reached with a defined package of HIV prevention services
2015 milestone exceeded (1,000,000)
Alliance efforts are based on a combination and targeted approach to HIV prevention. Our reach increased by 30% in 2015; men who have sex with men were the largest group (621,708) closely followed by sex workers (322,190), people who use drugs (298,702) and transgender people (68,909).

Post subject: Trade up?
Ive been thinking about what the chargers should do in the draft. IMO they should trade the #12 and #28 pick for a top 3 pick, and get Mike Williams, the best player in this draft. Then in the 2nd get a pass rushing DE/OLB, like Darryll Blackstock. After that fill out the roster with an OT, CB, FS, and a huge run-stuffing DT.
Im still debating this, because I know we have more pressing needs than WR( like a stud passrusher and a FS) but I think Mike Williams will take our offense to another level. Name a team in the AFC WEST that will be able to stop us?
Besides I think our pass rush will get better, with Igor and Shaun Phillips having a better feel for this defense. Also, we have to adress the FS position via free agency(Will Demps or Dwight Smith), our secondary is young enough.

Why would the Chargers give up 2 first rounders to get Mike Williams when they could stay at 12 and 28 and get a combo like Spears or Rolle and Williamson or White? I realize its much more fun to talk about offense and how offensive playmakers will make the O unstoppable, but lets be honest, the Chargers offense was pretty damn good this past year and their defense, especially against the pass, was the weakness...to quote a common cliche, "defense wins championships" and the Chargers could stand to add a DE, CB, or S before a WR, and also an OT for that matter. I mean believe me, I think Mike Williams is a beast, but I just don't see why you all would give up on the idea that adding depth is better than adding one big name. It worked out pretty well last year after all.

Post subject: Agree with e16bball
If we keep drafting offensive talent then we would resemble the Colts which is not bad but again our biggest needs are on defense. I think AJ Smith is smart enough to realize that and will certainly not be tempted to trade all their picks just for Mike Williams.

Believe me, I see what you guys are saying. IMO Brees needs a lot of help around him to be effective. Parker and Caldwell have proven to be injury prone, besides can you imagine Mike Williams playing with the new illegal contact rules?. With him, Gates(2nd best TE in the league), and LT(best RB in the league), Brees will be a Pro Bowl QB for years to come. Believe me hes the ONLY player I think we should trade up for.
We have a lot of options in this draft, IMO Mike Williams is the best player in this draft by a wide margin, we dont need Troy Williamson or Roddy White. If we dont get Williams, then we should take the best player available with the 28th pick. I agree with Spears or Rolle with the 12th pick.
Either way I trust AJ, and the decision he makes.

while I would love to see mike williams in a chargers uniform, I don't thinkt that we should trade up. The offense is fine. Weren't we second in offense last season? and didn't we have three pro bowlers at offensive skilll positions? the return of caldwell alone will improve the offense. I think that we should go with defense with both of our first rounders. At # 12 thomas davis, or adam jones, (maybe antrell rolle if he's available), would be a very good pick up for us. that would improve our #28 pass defense ranking. at #28 a pass rushing de like david pollac or justin tuck would also be a very nice addition.
*If you think about it, we lost to the colts becuase they made a 15 point comeback in the fourt quarter. And I'm sure I don't have to remind anyone that we gave up the lead against the jets in the playoffs.

I, too, was thinking of ways to get to a top position to get a top receiver, but now I realize the cost would be too high. Brees is going to stay, as he should...can't trade him. Rivers knows our system and will be number two QB next year, as he should...can't trade him. With Moss going to the Raiders, Minnesota at #7 will be another team in the WR hunt ahead of us. Williams will be long gone by #12. Besides, I liked Edwards better, but he, too will be long gone. We should go defense at #12 and #28 and think about WR after that.
Go Blue!

Andrew, I'm just waiting to get confirmation that my leave has been granted at work, which should come through in the next day or so. Once that's done I'll get the hotels booked and get the money to you for the ferry. Do you know if the hotels still have rooms?
Both showing as available at the moment Dinner Bed and Breakfast at Coylumbridge is still £92 and don't forget to mention the TT meet at the Uig hotel dinner bed breakfast is £120 there.
The Ferry to Malliag lops a large corner off and adds something different to the whole event .

Wi-Fi evangelists have for years been spinning alluring tales about an unwired future, but many businesses eyeing the sector are still struggling to find revenue models that will let them turn a profit on providing wireless connectivity and related content and services. Several executives tackling Wi-Fi projects gathered Tuesday in New York for a panel discussion of their field experiences, organized by the iBreakfast conference series.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. counts among its 750 hotels several luxury brands, including Westin, Sheraton and W Hotels, that target business travelers often drawn toward road-warrior technologies like Wi-Fi. But with the hospitality industry crunched in the last several years by a sharp drop in travel spending, the company can't afford to build wireless connectivity infrastructure without a clear return on the investment, according to Carl Cohen, Starwood's vice president of property technology business and systems strategy.
"I don't yet see any killer app that's going to make the difference in our industry," he said. Lacking any single Wi-Fi offering that will turn a profit, Starwood is cobbling together an assortment of projects, mixing initiatives aimed at creating new revenue streams with internal cost-cutting endeavors.
Starwood has fitted several of its hotels with full wireless access -- a pricey proposition, Cohen said, because spotty access only annoys customers. Most of those properties are still in a test phase, offering visitors free access in exchange for feedback. Soon, Starwood intends to begin charging those taking advantage of its hotels' networks. Access fees for coverage in corporate meeting rooms are a particularly high-margin opportunity for the hotels, Cohen noted.
But fees from hotel guests are unlikely to cover the cost of deploying and maintaining a Wi-Fi infrastructure, he said, so Starwood is also experimenting with several initiatives it hopes will lead to operational cost savings.
In the W hotel in Times Square, a just-launched test project equips the building's housekeepers with wirelessly connected handhelds. Desk staff can route the cleaning staff to rooms needing attention, and the housekeepers can report back as they complete assignments. The goal is to more quickly turn over rooms, reducing the length of time customers wait for rooms to be ready for occupancy.
Another internal project furnishes waiters in one of Starwood's hotel restaurants with wireless handhelds they can use to instantly relay orders to the restaurant's cooking staff. If food and drink orders take less time to reach customers, Starwood hopes the customers will order more than they would have if faced with longer waits. Calculating the return there will be relatively easy, Cohen said. After several months of testing, the company expects to see an increase in sales.
"The data's going to tell the story. (Extending Starwood's Wi-Fi rollout) is not going to be an emotional decision. This is not 1999," Cohen said. "Everything now is, show me the money or you can't have any more."
Neil Andersen, a manager in services firm Cap Gemini Ernst & Young U.S. LLC's Network and Infrastructure Service division, said he's noticed a trend of businesses pulling together a number of projects to justify an investment in Wi-Fi infrastructure.
"We're seeing that across the industry right now. People are looking for second-generation cost-cutting methods," he said.

Mumbai, Nov 1: Virat Kohli has been chosen for Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Polly Umrigar Award for being India's top international cricketer during the period 2011-12.
Kohli has been in great form in the recent past and it would have been an easy choice for BCCI to pick the Delhi batsman for the award.
In the last season, the right-hander scored 627 runs from seven Tests with two centuries. In 26 One Day Internatioanls, he amassed 1,539 runs with seven hundreds. In 10 Twenty20 Internationals, he had 389 runs with four half centuries.
"Virat Kohli will be presented the Polly Umrigar Award, for being India's top international cricketer of 2011-12. The award comprises a trophy and cheque for Rs 5 lakhs. The previous winners of the award are Sachin Tendulkar (2006-07 and 2009-10), Virender Sehwag (2007-08), Gautam Gambhir (2008-09) and Rahul Dravid (2010-11)," BCCI said in a media release on Wednesday.
"The Annual BCCI Awards Ceremony will be held on Wednesday, 21 November 2012, at the Chambers Terrace, Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, Mumbai," BCCI said.
India's top performers in international and domestic cricket during the twelve-month period from 1 October 2011 to 30 September 2012 will be feted at the ceremony.
"VVS Laxman, who announced his retirement from international cricket in August 2012, will be felicitated at the ceremony. Sachin Tendulkar will also be honoured for completing a century of international centuries," BCCI added.
Another feature of the ceremony will be the posthumous felicitation of seven legends of Indian cricket - Vijay Merchant, Vijay Manjrekar, Dattu Phadkar, Vinoo Mankad, Ghulam Ahmed, M.L. Jaisimha and Dilip Sardesai. The next-of-kin of each of these individuals will receive a trophy and cheque for Rs 15 lakhs.
The Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Sunil Gavaskar, former India captain. The award comprises a trophy, citation and cheque for Rs 25 lakhs.

Social News Aggregator Nuzzel Enlists Investors From The Media Industry
Singularity University Launches Accelerator To Seize Academia's Innovation Monopoly
Nuzzel, the social news startup led by Friendster founder Jonathan Abrams, is announcing a bunch of new investors today, including Matter, the Knight Foundation-backed incubator for media startups.
Abrams didn't say how much additional cash he's raised, but he described the new funding as "relatively small in size compared to some of our tech-industry investors" — this was less about the size of the investment and more about getting backers from the news and media industry. Nuzzel previously raised $3.4 million in funding.
While the startup offers different ways to explore the news, its core appeal is very simple. It creates a news feed and news alerts based on what your friends are sharing on social media.
The new investors are: Matter; Gordon Crovitz, former publisher of The Wall Street Journal; Arturo Duran, managing partner at IVA Ventures; Craig Forman, partner at NextNews Ventures; Jim Friedlich, CEO of Empirical Media; Andrew Miller, former CEO of the Guardian Media Group; and John Paton, founder and former CEO of Digital First Media.

Re: information on Eigensystem
the problem is, you have typed "i" instead of I or \[ImaginaryI].
Mathematica has to find the analytical eigen system of a 4 x 4
matrix with a *variable*, i.e., solve a equation of degree 4, insert
the huge expression for the eigenvalues and compute the eigenvectors.
This can take several hours. If you type
M = {{65, 3 + 6\[ImaginaryI], 12 - 6\[ImaginaryI],
4 - 2\[ImaginaryI]}, {3 - 6\[ImaginaryI], 30, 0,
30}, {12 + 6\[ImaginaryI], 0, 9, 3}, {4 + 2\[ImaginaryI], 30, 3,
the exakt solution needs only a few seconds.

I'm looking for information on Charles Gordon and Jane Fickle as well as their children. My genealogical connection is they are my third great-grandparents through their daughter Martha Gordon.
I have some vital and census information about Charles and Jane Gordon I would really like to learn more about their lives, which is why I'm casting this fishing line.
Here's what I know:
Charles Gordon
born Oct 1801 in Westmorlenad County, Pennsylvania
died 22 Mar 1873 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio
married on 5 Dec 1822 in Perry County, Ohio
Jane Fickle
born 6 Dec 1803 in Monogalia County, Virginia
died 3 Jun 1865 in Worthington, Franklin, Ohio
Charles Gordon and Jane Fickle had the following children:
Sarah Ann Gordon (19 Nov 1823 - 6 Jan 1909)
Levi William Gordon (19 Mar 1825 - 24 Apr 1902)
Martha Gordon (1 Mar 1827 - 9 Apr 1901)
Hester Ann Gordon (4 Mar 1832 - 18 Oct 1904)
Nancy Gordon (1836 - )
Eliza Jane Gordon (Jun 1841 - 30 Jan 1913)
Oliver S Gordon (7 Feb 1844 - 1 Aug 1905)
Angeline "Anna" Gordon (26 Nov 1846 - 1 May 1908)
Again, these folks are my 3rd great grandparents and their children. I would love to know more about their history, and potentially find photos. Perhaps someone will be searching for the Gordon ancestors and land on this blog. Perhaps the distant relative will be inspired to connect with me after reading this post.
I do have information some photos of Martha Gordon's family to share.
I am throwing this fishing line in the water in hopes of learning more about my heritage and fill in the gaps on my family tree.
