The McGill Law & Society Workshop Series invites scholars, graduate students and postdocs in law, the social sciences, and the humanities to present works-in-progress broadly falling within the field of law and society.
We seek papers that use qualitative, quantitative, or interpretivist methods to explore the complex relationship between legal phenomena and social, political, and economic interactions, institutions, and processes. Our interest in socio-legal research extends to state, non-state, formal, and informal norms, institutions, and processes.
The McGill Graduate Sociology Student Society is organizing an alumni event during the American Sociological Association Meetings. This event will bring together current and past graduate sociology students to help them network. The event will consist of two roundtables with guests who are currently employed in tenure-track positions and non-academic positions followed by a reception.
