Inaugurated in 2015, the IGLP Regional Workshop is an intensive, regionally-focused residential program that brings together an international cohort of young doctoral scholars, post-doctoral scholars and junior faculty for intensive collaboration, mentoring, and cross-training. The 2017 IGLP Regional Workshop will focus on how issues of global law, economic policy, social justice and governance relate to ongoing legal and policy debates throughout Asia and across the world, while offering opportunities to strengthen participants’ writing and research. The week features a  series of plenaries, lectures, roundtables, writing workshops, and networking opportunities, in addition to a variety of innovative mini-courses related to law and policy. We encourage applications from young scholars across Asia and worldwide who would benefit from intensive collaboration with their global peers and IGLP’s junior and senior faculty.
