2027 Annual ALPE Meeting <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 9-10, 2027, Boston, MA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are thrilled to announce the Call for Proposals for the Association of Law and Political Economy\u2019s 2027 annual meeting. We will meet in Boston, MA on June 9-10, 2027 and invite proposals for panels, roundtables, and individual papers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past year, this community has helped build ALPE into a space for scholars, organizers, and practitioners who care deeply about how law structures our political and economic world\u2014and want to construct better alternatives. We are excited to continue the work with you in Boston. The deadline for submission is December 9, 2026<\/strong>. Please take a look at the complete instructions, including access to the online portal, below. If you are not already an ALPE member, we encourage you to  join by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>. We look forward to your CFP submissions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for Proposals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALPE invites proposals for our second annual meeting, to be held on June 9-10, 2027,<\/strong> in Boston, MA. Panels, roundtables, and individual paper proposals are welcome. We encourage submissions by academics, organizers, practitioners, policy professionals, and others engaged in research that examines the relationship between law and political economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference seeks to advance scholarship and movement analysis that addresses the manner in which law both shapes and reflects hierarchies that order our social world. LPE work embraces the contested boundaries of analytic categories like \u201claw\u201d and \u201cthe economy\u201d and\u00a0frequently centers questions of empire, citizenship, class, racialization, sex\/gender, sexuality, the carceral state, and disability. You are welcome to take a look at last year’s conference program<\/strong><\/a> to see how these themes have been explored previously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We strongly encourage panel or roundtable proposals, although individual paper submissions will also be considered. To ensure broad participation, ALPE has a strict one-presentation<\/strong> policy: Each attendee can appear only once<\/strong> as a panelist or on a roundtable.

Panels with fewer than four presenters may be supplemented by the Conference Committee with additional panelists selected from the pool of accepted individual paper submissions.
