Open Letter to CLGC Faculty Participants and Groups Members
Dear Faculty Participants and Groups Members of Cultures of Law in Global Contexts (CLGC),
Thank you for all your support for and help with our project during the year of 2012-2013. In particular, our thanks go to all who were involved in our spring colloquium, graduate teaching, and reading group meetings.
This year, we welcome six outstanding graduate fellows who will receive support through the Graduate College’s INTERSECT initiative:
Hee Jung Choi (Anthropology) Katherine Flowers (English and Writing Studies) Mark Frank (East Asian Languages and Cultures) Heather Freund (History) Sally Heinzel (History) Ligia Mihut (English).
Our group of faculty participants is also expanding. Professors Dana Rabin (History), Jason Mazzone (Law), Robin Kar (Law), Jessica Greenburg (Anthropology), Rebecca Sandefur (Sociology) and Anna-Maria Marshall (Sociology) have joined us during the past year.
We are pleased to report that “Cultures of Law in Global Contexts” is selected as the annual theme of the Center for Advanced Study Initiative program in the year of 2013-2014. The generous support of CAS makes possible a speaker series over the entire academic year. This term that series recently featured Tom Ginsburg (Law, U Chicago), who presented “From Modernism to Participation in East Asian Law,” on September 10 at 4:00 pm in the Spurlock Auditorium; and will feature Tamara Loos (History, Cornell), who will present at 4:00 pm on November 19 (title and location TBA). For Spring 2014, we have thus far confirmed visits by Lauren Benton (History, NYU) and Ruth Gilmore (Geography, CUNY Graduate Center). For more information on these and other talks, please check the CLGC or CAS website.
This year, in addition to the annual reading group in fall and a graduate seminar cross listed with CAS, English, and EALC in spring, our students have more courses to take in the subfield, such as "Britain and the Global Eighteenth Century" and "Gender and Crime in the Early Modern World". If you are teaching any courses related to our topic, please send us your course title and a brief description. We will upload them onto our website. Thank you!
Our last, but not least, gratitude goes to Siobhan Somerville, who contributed tremendously to this project during the past year. Siobhan has to withdraw from the project to avoid any perception of a conflict of interest while she is now serving the community as an Associate Dean in the Graduate College. Fortunately, she will still be able to attend our events and discussions, and co-lead the CAS seminar and Speakers Series during the year of 2013-2014.
Looking forward to hearing from you and to seeing you at our events.
