UChicago-Tsinghua Young Faculty Forum

5/31
—
By invitation only

The UChicago-Tsinghua Young Faculty Forum selected twelve scholars working in the area of law-and-social-science to present work-in-progress. Each paper will be given a 45-minute slot, which will begin with a brief, 15-minute presentation by the author, introducing the main argument of the paper. The presentation will then be followed by group discussion and Q&A for another 30 minutes.

The purpose of the Forum is to allow for open conversation with free flow of ideas and wide participation, in the Chicago “round table” style workshop. To facilitate this format, there will be no prepared comments by the discussants. All papers will be distributed and read by all participants in advance, to enable rigorous and broad discussion.
