We start a new series of presentations at the AsianSIL Interest Group on Theory and History (AsianSIL-IGTH), with two main purposes:
– 1) to share our latest research interests with researchers who are interested in theory and history of international law, and
– 2) to offer opportunities especially for young scholars to present their research outcomes in an international forum and receive comments and advice from scholars of different backgrounds and nationalities.
Any topics of theory and history of international law are welcome, but in particular the following types of topics will be most appreciated:
– 1) History of international law in Asia
– 2) Life and works of Asian scholars of international law
– 3) Theories of international law with Asian characteristics
If you have a topic to present at the THIL Interest Group of Asian Society of International Law,
You are invited to submit your online presentation proposal, with the guidelines as follows:
a) Even though the THIL interest group is an official interest group of the Asian Society of International Law, you do not need AsianSIL membership to be a member of the THIL interest group and make presentations. (You are of course kindly invited to join the society, if you like: http://www.asiansil.org/membership/join-asiansil/)
b) We use Zoom.
c) You need a stable Internet connection so that the audience can very much enjoy the meeting. If you are not sure of the quality of your Internet connection, you are encouraged to have a test meeting with the convener in advance.
d) The time length of a meeting is set for 45 minutes so that people can join it without too much commitment. Please make your presentation in 20 minutes maximum, so that we can have enough time for discussion.
e) Please share with us your slides or note a week before so that people can fully enjoy your presentation.
f) Time difference matters. The best meeting time seems to be from 1100 GMT to 1145 GMT. The meetings in the past have been set often on Wednesday, but other days of the week would also be fine according to the presenter’s convenience.
g) Please send your proposal to toyoda@aiu.ac.jp, by the end of September if possible, with i) your name and affiliation, ii) presentation title, c) an abstract, if you have one already, d) suggested dates for your presentation (and the suggested time if you would like to have it at other than 1100-1145 GMT).
