We invite submissions \;for \;the \;Queering Private Law Conference at UCL Faculty of Laws on 3-4 September\, 2026. This will be the 2026 Bentham House Conference &ndash\; the flagship conference for the UCL Faculty of Laws. \; \; \;
\nWe welcome submissions \;addressing any area of private law \;(broadly defined\, \;including \;contracts\, company law\, \;corporate law\, \;equity and trusts\, family law\, intellectual property\, property\, torts\, and unjust enrichment) vis-à\;-vis the lens of queer theory or LGBTQI+ rights. \;
\nSubmission Details \;\nPlease \;submit \;a \;500-word abstract \;by \;February 6\, \;2026 \;via \;this \;MS Forms. \;
\nNote that\, if accepted\, a \;full \;draft \;of \;5\,000-8\,000 words inclusive of footnotes \;must \;be \;submitted \;by \;June \;30\, 2026. \;
\nThe committee reviewing abstract submissions will \;generally \;prioritise \;authors \;who express their interest in contributing their paper to the edited volume. However\, in the interest of broadening the range of topics\, methods\, and scholars\, \;we accept submissions from those interested in presenting their papers without contributing them to the edited volume. \;
\nFunding \;\nTo further the conference&rsquo\;s goals and our underlying commitment to equality\, diversity\, and inclusion\, promoting under-represented and emerging voices\, some funding is available to cover speakers costs in a manner that is attentive to needs\, with preference given to early career scholars\, under-represented voices\, as well as proportionately of travel costs. Our funding is limited\, so if you do \;require \;assistance\, please let us know for which element (travel to/from\, accommodation\, or both) \;and estimated costs \;when \;submitting \;your abstract via the MS \;Form.
