The 29th Annual Australian and New Zealand Law and History Conference
hosted by the Australian and New Zealand Law and History Society (ANZLHS)
The Conference Convenors are particularly interested in having postgraduate participation in the Conference and welcome suggestions for how this might be facilitated.
Postgraduates wishing to attend the Law and History Conference to present a paper are invited to apply for a Bruce Kercher Scholarship. These were established by the Australia and New Zealand Law and History Society (ANZLHS) in recognition of its founding President, Bruce Kercher’s substantial contribution to the field of legal history and the work of ANZLHS. Scholarships are open to any postgraduate student currently enrolled in an Australian or New Zealand university, and are awarded on the basis of merit through a process of application to the conference organisers. Up to two scholarships are awarded to students from New Zealand, and up to three for students at Australian universities. The Scholarship provides $500 AUD for New Zealand students and $300 AUD for Australian students which can be put towards the airfare to attend the conference or accommodation. It also provides a waiver of the conference registration fees, a year’s membership of ANZLHS and the opportunity to present their paper in the conference program.
Postgraduates enrolled at an Australian or New Zealand university are welcome to submit an application for a Kercher Scholarship even if they have not already offered an abstract.
Interested applicants are invited to submit a letter that includes:
