ANZSIL POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH STUDENTS WORKSHOP
Victoria University of Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand
Tuesday, 30 June 2026
CALL FOR PAPERS: Deadline: Monday, 16 February 2026
The Australian and New Zealand Society of International Law (ANZSIL) Postgraduate Research Students Workshop will be held in person on Tuesday, 30 June 2026, at Victoria University of Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Workshop aims to provide postgraduate degree research students with an opportunity to present their research to their peers, develop their feedback and engagement skills, discuss their experiences of postgraduate research and make academic and professional connections. Participants will give presentations on an aspect of their research for approximately 10 minutes, followed by a roundtable discussion of each paper. To facilitate this discussion, participants must submit short papers (no more than 1,500 words) for distribution before the Workshop. Participants will also be expected to engage as discussants of other papers.
The Workshop will be followed by the 33rd ANZSIL Annual Conference, which will take place at Victoria University of Wellington Faculty of Law from Wednesday, 1 July to Friday, 3 July 2026. Workshop participants are encouraged to attend the full Conference and there is no registration fee for workshop participants to attend the Workshop or the Annual Conference. Applicants for the Workshop must be enrolled in a higher degree research program (PhD, SJD, or Research Masters) at an Australian or New Zealand university.
Applicants should submit an abstract of up to 350 words and biographical note of up to 250 words no later than 16 February 2026. Your biographical note should indicate how many full years you have completed in your research degree and whether you have completed any formal requirements for candidacy in your degree. Priority will be given to participants seeking to present at an ANZSIL Postgraduate Workshop for the first time, and who have completed formal confirmation requirements for their research degree. Preference may also be given to abstracts that demonstrate a connection with the conference theme. The Convenors encourage applications from scholars from underrepresented backgrounds and institutions. There will be a small travel bursary to assist with expenses for students who are selected to take part in the Workshop and are based outside Wellington.
