Announcements: ASIL Workshop and ESIL-AAIL Symposium

1. International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society of International Law Workshop. The International Organizations Interest Group of the American Society of International Law will hold a works-in-progress workshop on Friday, 10 February 2017 in New York City. If you are interested in presenting a paper at the workshop, please submit an abstract to Sarah Dadush (sdadush {at} kinoy.rutgers(.)edu), Noah Bialostozky (noahbialos {at} gmail(.)com), and Maria Panezi (panezi_maria {at} yahoo(.)com) by the end of the day on 30 November 2016. Abstracts should be a couple of paragraphs long, but not more than one page. Papers should relate to the study of international organisations. Papers selected for presentation are due no later than 20 January 2017. Papers should not yet be in print so that authors will have time to make revisions based on comments from the workshop. The workshop’s format will be structured to afford each presenter significant individual feedback. Each paper will have a dedicated session, in which it will first be introduced by a commentator. Thereafter the author will have the opportunity to respond if he or she wishes. The floor will then be opened up for discussion. The workshop will be conducted on the assumption that everyone has read all of the papers in advance. One need not present or comment on a paper to participate. Registration for the workshop will open in November.
