Reframing narratives: Postgraduate Law Conference call for papers
Wed 27 November 2024
The Edinburgh Postgraduate Law Conference is inviting postgraduate students, early career researchers, and legal practitioners to submit papers for the 2025 conference, which will take place between 11 and 12 June 2025.
The theme for next year’s conference is Reframing Narratives: viewing law in a different light. It aims to challenge the fact that our understanding of law is often dominated by biased accounts that neglect viewpoints from the Global South, minorities, and historically oppressed groups. The conference seeks to challenge and deconstruct the prevailing narratives about the law to create a more inclusive and equitable world.
The EPLC particularly welcomes papers that adopt traditionally underutilised perspectives, such as Decolonisation, Critical Race Theory, Feminist Legal Studies, Global Law, and Third-World Approaches to International Law.
The EPLC was established in 2013 and is an annual conference organised by PhD students at Edinburgh Law School. It aims to showcase new and innovative research by postgraduate students from throughout the UK and beyond in law and criminology.
Submit a paper for the 2025 conference
Abstracts should be in English and no more than 500 words. These can be submitted via the application form - EPGC 2025 Application Form. The deadline for submissions is 28 February.
