Family Law in an Age of Political Contestation
Philadelphia, June 16, 2025
CALL FOR PAPERS
The ISFL North American Regional Conference will take place at the Temple University Beasley School of Law in Philadelphia on June 16, 2025. The theme of the conference is “Family Law in an Age of Political Contestation.”
We encourage papers that approach family law from the lens of critical theory, intersectional analysis, abolitionism, and/or law and economic inequality. We especially welcome proposals that focus on the impact of the current political moment on families who are vulnerable or otherwise marginalized due to their members’ identities (LGBTQIA+, immigration status, race, disability,income status, for example).
Please submit abstracts of maximum 1000 words here. When doing so, please also include your current position and institutional affiliation. The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2025. Wewill notify those whose papers have been selected shortly thereafter.
You are also invited to attend without giving a paper. If you wish to do so, please check the box next to the “Attend, but not present scholarship” option at the submission website. If you are interested in serving as a moderator or commentator on a panel, please register for the conferenceand check the appropriate box on the submission form by February 1, 2025.
There may be a modest registration fee (no more than $30). Unfortunately, we cannot offer any financial support for our speakers, but we nevertheless hope that we will be able to welcome you inPhiladelphia in June 2025. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
