The Colloquium:
The Law, Religion, and Heritage Research Program Team at the University of
Southern Queensland is hosting a colloquium titled Arbiters of Justice: Historical Studies of Southern Queensland
Lawgivers.
Date: 26 November 2021
Venue:
USQ Ipswich Campus, Room I-109
Note:
Physical attendance is warmly encouraged, but a Zoom option will be available.
Invitation: Academics,
members of the legal community, local historians, and anyone with an interest
in the topic are invited to participate.
The colloquium’s reference to “lawgivers” is intended broadly to
encompass a wide range of people responsible for making and administering the
law, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders, colonial governors,
and notable jurists. The link these
individuals have to southern Queensland can take different forms, and will also
be interpreted flexibly. Contributions
may include biographical studies, analyses of important decisions, reflections
on the role that religion or spirituality played in the lawgiver’s life, and
more.
What is required to participate? Presentations should be 15-20 minutes to
duration, with time for questions to follow after. Presentations should be supported by a
completed paper or work-in-progress suitable for distribution to other
participants. Should sufficient numbers
of quality papers be received, the opportunity to contribute to an edited
collection may become available after the colloquium.
