An Invitation: Please Nominate Early-Career Scholars

Last week, I continued my Spotlight on Early-Career Scholars, now in its 4th edition. Please get to know these scholars, read their drafts, and invite them to present their work. 

I welcome your nominations for early-career scholars to highlight in the future. 

Please send me your nominee's name, Twitter handle, and one or two of her papers. 

The Most Important Book in Modern Constitutionalism 

Voting is now open in the First Round. The First Round pairings are based on the 2000 votes cast in the Qualifying Round.

I would have liked to see more books authored by women in this contest. I nominated many of them myself. 

All are welcome to vote here! 

The Call for Papers is available in six different languages.

All are welcome to this first-of-its-kind event, held over five days in January 2021. The submission deadline is October 1.
