Call for papers
Deadline: January 31th 2013
We are currently calling for papers on a range of topics involving comparative analysis in human rights research, including papers with a special focus on:
- Analysis of different domestic and/or international jurisdictions pertaining to human rights law
- Relationship between conflicting legal regimes and/or norms which may be relevant to human rights law
- Applied human rights research: impact analysis, fact finding and monitoring
- Case studies and challenges in data collection, verification and reliability
Limited funding is available through the Nordic Network in Human Rights Research and the Åbo Akademi Institute for Human Rights (Finland) for travel and accommodation costs. Only presenters of a paper are eligible for financial support, on the basis of an application. We have pre-booked rooms in Florence (9-15 June 2013), which will be paid directly by the network should your application for a travel grant be accepted.
