Brown University and Harvard University present Slavery’s Capitalism: A New History of American Economic Development, April 7-9, 2011. The conference will be at Brown on April 7-8 and at Harvard on April 9.
This conference is intended to explore the centrality of slavery to national economic development in the decades between the American Revolution and the Civil War. New archival research on banking, finance, manufacturing, migration, and transportation reveals greater integration and greater complexity in the economic relationship of North and South. Presentations will explore New England investment in the plantation economies of the Caribbean; the technological and managerial innovations in plantation management that coincided with northern industrialization; and the origins of modern finance and credit in the buying and selling of enslaved men and women and the crops they produced. The papers convey that slavery was a national institution whose importance reached far beyond the boundaries of plantation lands. Moreover, this new research suggests that the hotbeds of American entrepreneurship, speculation, and innovation might as readily be found in Mississippi or Virginia as in New York or Massachusetts. The issue is not whether slavery was or was not capitalist (an older debate), but rather the impossibility of understanding the nation’s spectacular pattern of economic development without situating slavery front and center. The result is a new history of American capitalism that recognizes slavery as a constitutive element of the nation’s economic rise in the nineteenth century.
Sven Beckert and Seth Rockman are the conveners of this conference and would like to call particular attention to slavery’s importance to the institutional histories of both Harvard University and Brown University. This conference marks the continued investment of both universities in recovering and publicizing this history.

The Center for South Asia at the University of Wisconsin-Madison hosts the 40th Annual Conference on South Asia Oct. 20-23, 2011.
The University of Wisconsin Global Legal Studies Center & South Asia Legal Studies Working Group present the Fifth Annual South Asia Legal Studies Pre-Conference Workshop Oct. 20, 2011, 2-6:30 p.m. The organizers seek “panel proposals relating to any aspect of the study of law and South Asia.” The deadline is March 1, 2011.
We understand “law” in its broadest sense to encompass not only state law, but also norms emanating from non-state sources and actors. “Law” may therefore describe customary, religious and international normative orders, as much as rules produced by government institutions. We welcome panel proposals featuring speakers based in different countries, and from a diverse array of disciplines and career paths, including law, the social sciences, humanities, business, medicine and the sciences.

The La Trobe University School of Law will host the third annual Conference on Innovation and Communications Law May 29-31, 2011. The Conference is a cooperative effort of La Trobe University School of Law, Drake University Law School, the University of Hawai’i, William S. Richardson School of Law, the University of Louisville School of Law, Michigan State University College of Law, the University of Turku Faculty of Law, and the IPR University Center, Finland. The theme for this year’s conference is Re-envisioning Progress: Pluralistic Visions of Intellectual Property in a Globalized, Digitized Era.
Focusing on the globalization of intellectual property rights (IPR), this conference aims to look beyond utilitarian rationales for intellectual property (IP) protection and take account of diverse constituencies and new technological realities. The committee is keen to receive proposals for papers that consider pluralistic notions of IPR and/or IP rationales that go beyond narrow utilitarian incentives. Topics may push the bounds of traditional expectations of the role of intellectual property and communications law (IPCL) in promoting or regulating the following: open access; free culture; the software movement; efforts to protect and enforce indigenous peoples traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, genetic resources, and/or United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN DRIP) assets and resources; or the navigation of diverse national traditions with respect to ownership/custodianship/stewardship/management of IP.
Proposals/abstracts are due by March 15, 2011. mw

Sometimes we are able to post information about a conference or symposium many months ahead of time. That means that you could have missed something that’s coming up that you’d be interested in (or maybe you saw it and forgot about it). So if you’re interested in what’s coming up, remember to check the calendar or use the Categories in the sidebar to see what’s going on in your areas of interest.

The Law and Economics Center at George Mason University School of Law presents Workshop on Empirical and Experimental Methods for Law Professors May 23-26, 2011.
The Workshop on Empirical and Experimental Methods for Law Professors is designed to teach law professors the conceptual and practical skills required to (1) understand and evaluate others’ empirical studies, and (2) design and implement their own empirical studies. Participants are not expected to have background in statistical knowledge or empirical skills prior to enrollment. Instructors have been selected in part to demonstrate the development of empirical studies in a wide-range of legal and institutional settings including: antitrust, business law, bankruptcy, class actions, contracts, criminal law and sentencing, federalism, finance, intellectual property, and securities regulation. Class sessions will provide participants opportunities to learn through faculty lectures, drawing upon data and examples for cutting edge empirical legal studies, and participating in experiments. There will be numerous opportunities for participants to discuss their own works-in-progress or project ideas with the instructors.
