*REMINDER: ASLH STUDENT RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM, 2024*
*Call for Applications*
The American Society for Legal History will host its eleventh annual
Student Research Colloquium (SRC) on *Wednesday, October 23, and Thursday,
October 24, 2024, *in San Francisco, California, USA. Each year, the SRC
brings eight graduate students to the site of the ASLH annual meeting to
discuss their in-progress research projects with each other and with
ASLH-affiliated scholars.
Target applicants include early-post-coursework Ph.D. students and
historically minded law students. All students whose research touches on
legal-historical themes are encouraged to apply, whatever their
chronological or geographical focuses. Applicants who have not yet had an
opportunity to interact with the ASLH are welcome, as are those who have
never received any formal training in legal history. A student may present
a paper at the annual meeting and participate in the SRC in the same year.
The ASLH will at least partially and, in many cases, fully reimburse the
SRC students’ travel, hotel, and conference-registration costs.
To apply, please submit the following three items to John Wertheimer
at: *srcproposals(a)aslh.net
<srcproposals(a)aslh.net>:*
- a cover letter that describes, among other things, how far along you
are and approximately how many years remain in your present course of study;
- an up-to-date CV; and
- a two-page, single-spaced research statement that contains a working
title and describes the in-progress research project that you would like to
present at the colloquium.
Application deadline: *June 1, 2024*.

Greetings all,
We write with an important message for you all to consider.
We have all seen the violence engulfing the people of Palestine, and we
recognize the current efforts by our friends and colleagues to hold the
university accountable for its culpability in these acts of violence – of
*genocide*– against the Palestinian people.
In light of the recent events that have gripped the nation and our campus,
HGSA has decided to initiate a vote for the graduate community in the
History Department to determine whether our organization will sign the
Harvard Divestment Letter.
Vote here: https://forms.gle/e5HgX87KAWjuUn17A.
Please consider casting your vote. *Voting will end on Wednesday, May 1st
at 3:30 pm. *
You can access the full divestment letter here

You may also sign the letter as an individual, which you can do anonymously
if you wish.
Sincerely,
*Harvard Graduate Student Association*
