DETAILS OF THE OPPORTUNITY :
Call for papers:
The organisers would like to invite papers to be presented at the conference on
emerging topics in business law:
• Topics falling under the remit of this workshop may include corporate social
responsibility, supply chain sustainability, the technological transformation of
companies, businesses and markets, sustainable finance, financial inclusion,
and developments in emerging geographies, at both international and national
levels—in particular the North England region.
• It is also hoped that the workshop will provide a stage for new and developing
foundational and philosophical approaches to business law, including those
that incorporate re-examinations of shareholder-centric and agency-centric
approaches to corporate law, discussions of new goals and objectives for
financial regulation (like fairness, financial inclusion, and sustainability), and
new tools for critically appraising business law (such as feminist and queer
legal theories).
Those interested in presenting their work should submit either a working draft, a
recently published paper, or an extended abstract by email ([email protected]) by Friday, 15th March.
The organisers will select papers that will form part of a more general discussion
within two panels. Authors of accepted submissions will receive a notification by
Friday, 29th March.
II. Call for expressions of interest:
The organisers would also like to invite expressions of interest from those willing to
participate in a round-table discussion and a group work session on new research
and teaching methods in business law:
• Our workshop hopes to illustrate the variety of new approaches and methods
that are increasingly being employed by academics researching, teaching, and
creating impact in this area: new research methods could include survey
research, interview research and data analysis; new teaching methods might
involve efforts to decolonize the curriculum or cover underrepresented
geographies and regions in business law subjects; and new avenues to impact
might include novel methods for engaging with policymakers, industry
members and the wider community (e.g., policy and tech sprints, podcasts, etc).
Those interested in discussing these topics should write a proposal (1,000 words max),
describing how they have implemented or are in the process of pursuing new methods
for researching, teaching, or creating impact in business law, and submit it by email
([email protected]) by Friday, 15th March,
The organisers will select speakers who will be invited to participate in a round-table
discussion about new teaching methods in business law, and speakers who will be
invited to participate in a group-work session aimed at discussing and fostering new
approaches to researching and creating impact in business law. All participants will
receive a notification by Friday, 29th March.
Attendance will be free for selected participants and participation includes
materials, lunch, tea and refreshments.
The conference organisers are Clara Martins Pereira (Durham University Law School),
and Virág Blazsek (University of Leeds School of Law). Any questions should be
directed to [email protected].
