CFP AALS 2025: New Voices in Immigration Law
Call for Works-in-Progress
AALS Section on Immigration Law
January 11, 2025, 8:30AM (San Francisco, CA)
The AALS Section on Immigration Law is pleased to announce a Works-in-Progress/New Voices session during the 2025 AALS Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
Submissions may address any aspect of immigration and citizenship law. Authors, regardless of length of time in academia or participation in prior immigration law conferences or programs, are encouraged to submit proposals for consideration. Please note that priority will be given to authors who have never presented an immigration law paper at the AALS Annual Meeting, junior scholars, and works that have not been published or submitted for publication. Any remaining slots will be assigned to authors or submissions outside of these priority categories.
Please note that the works-in-progress session will be structured as small-group discussion of each selected paper, rather than as a panel. Pre-selected commentators will provide commentary and lead discussion of each work-in-progress with the aim of helping authors strengthen their drafts for submission and publication.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Please submit an abstract, précis, or draft of your work-in-progress in Microsoft Word format to Deep Gulasekaram atpgulasekaram@colorado.eduwith the subject line “Submission: AALS 2025 WIP Session” by September 1, 2024. In your email, please indicate if your submission meets the selection priorities. Scholars whose proposals are selected will need to submit a draft of the work-in-progress by December 1, 2024.
Pursuant to AALS rules, faculty at fee-paid non-member law schools, foreign faculty, adjunct and visiting faculty (without a full-time position at an AALS member law school), graduate students, fellows, and non-law school faculty are not eligible to submit. Please note that all presenters at the program are responsible for paying their own annual meeting registration fees and travel expenses.
