ANZSIL History and Theory of International Law Interest Group Workshop

Call for Papers

The ANZSIL History and Theory of International Law Interest Group invites proposals to participate in its third biennial Workshop, to be held in person on Thursday 10 December 2026 at the University of Technology Sydney with an option for remote participation for those unable to travel.

Co-convened by Amanda Alexander, Wanshu Cong and Kathryn Greenman, the workshop will provide a collegial environment in which to get feedback on new research in history and theory of international law. Selected participants will be invited to submit work in progress of 2,000–6,000 words. Standard as well as non-standard research outputs are welcome provided that the work is at a stage where feedback might be meaningfully incorporated.

Researchers at all levels working with issues of history and theory of international law broadly understood are welcome to submit a proposal to participate. If the Workshop is oversubscribed, preference will be given to early and mid-career researchers working in Australia and New Zealand.

Thanks to ANZSIL’s generous sponsorship, a limited number of travel bursaries are available for early career researchers without access to other sources of institutional funding. Please indicate in your proposal if you would like to be considered for a bursary and confirm that you meet the criteria.

Proposals should be submitted to htilig@anzsil.org by Friday 14 August 2026, in the form of a single Word document that includes a description of the work to be presented (max 300 words) and biography (max 200 words).

Invited participants will be asked to submit a draft by Monday 30 November 2026 to enable a final program and papers to be circulated in advance of the Workshop.

Enquiries can be directed to the Co-Convenors via htilig@anzsil.org.
