The Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society‘s 29th Annual Conference will be “Owning the Past: Whose Past? Whose Present?” It will take place Dec. 13-15, 2010, in Melbourne, Australia.
The use and study of the past is constantly being refashioned and reinterpreted to construct meaning in the present, imparting understandings of a common but chaotic humanity. Because everyone and no one ‘owns’ history, the ownership of historical events and the right to speak of them remains deeply contested. What are the outcomes and practical challenges surrounding the construction of historical consciousness through and about law? Whose past is told and by whom? How does law’s past influence history’s present? And is there any such thing as the orderly evolution of legal ideas? This conference invites papers on the subject of ownership in history and law, and may include contributions on any of several broad themes: the contestation of memory; the ethics of representation and remembrance; the commoditization and consumption of traumatic pasts; transcultural and transgenerational trauma; new technologies of historical documentation; testimony and bearing witness; Indigenous knowledge; identity politics; citizenship; the ethics of reproducing historical narratives; colonialism and hegemony; ‘dark’ tourism and artefacts of law; and new legal imaginings and the contest with the legal past.This is an interdisciplinary conference and papers are invited from scholars across a broad range of disciplines, as well as chronological and geographical contexts.

The Stanford Law & Policy Review is soliciting articles for an upcoming symposium on National Defense Policy. The submission deadline is Aug. 1, 2010.
The Stanford Law & Policy Review is a well-respected academic journal at Stanford Law School that explores current issues at the nexus of law and public policy. For each issue we solicit articles from prominent practitioners, policy makers, professors, judges, lawyers, political leaders, regulators, economists, and other experts. Past contributors include President (then Governor) Bill Clinton, Senator John McCain, and Governor Jeb Bush.
The National Defense Policy Symposium will be focused on recent changes and trends affecting national security and the ways in which law and policy may need to adapt in order to respond to these changes. Topics that we would like to cover in the symposium include:
- Veteran Affairs
- New Realms of Warfare (e.g. cyber-warfare, threat finance, etc.)
- Law of War (e.g. targeted killing, detention, etc.)
- Nation Building
- Counter-Insurgency / Counter-Terrorism
- Privatization and War (e.g. the role of private companies in modern warfare)
- Energy, Environment, and Defense
Submissions for publication may cover these topics or any other subject that fits within the broad framework of national security law and policy.
We will accept article submissions until August 1, 2010. Articles should be between ten and forty double-spaced pages, not including notes and citations. Articles should be submitted via e-mail to slpr.defense.symposium [at] gmail.com.
Selected articles will be published in May 2011. Authors will be invited to present their articles at a conference on national security law and policy at Stanford University.
Update Aug. 9, 2010: The date for the symposium has been tentatively set for Nov. 5, 2010.
