2015 Emerging Immigration Scholars’ Conference
2015 Emerging Immigration Scholars’ Conference
This biennial conference aims to create a space for junior law teachers to share drafts of writing projects, discuss teaching techniques, and get to know one another. It will be open to emerging immigration law teachers (tenure-track and non-tenure track) who have been teaching immigration law for eight years or fewer.
The conference will consist of panel discussions on teaching immigration law (doctrinal and clinical), professional development, scholarship, recent developments in immigration law and policy, and WIP/incubator sessions. The event is modeled after similar conferences held at Hofstra School of Law in 2009, American University, Washington College of Law, in 2011; and University of California, Irvine in 2013.
We intend for this gathering to occur every other year during the off-years of the biennial Immigration Law Teachers Workshop (which addresses the interests and needs of the larger immigration law teaching community).
