Call for Papers: Political Parties, Partisanship, and the Constitution - a workshop for early career researchers

From 14-15 March 2019 the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights will host a workshop for early career-researchers on the topic of Political Parties, Partisanship, and the Constitution, with the generous support of the Programme for the Foundations of Law and Constitutional Government. The workshop is part of a wider project on the role of political parties under the constitution.

Submissions are welcome from early-career researchers working in the humanities and social sciences, as well as those working for political parties, think-tanks, government, and civil society. Our aim is to build a closer network of early-career scholars working in this field, and to provide an opportunity for feedback in a welcoming and supportive environment.
