Reflections on Magna Carta in Australasia Postgraduate Symposium
University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
1 December 2015

The New Zealand Historical Association and the Magna Carta 800 Committee for New Zealand will host a series of panels at the NZHA’s biennial conference (2-4 December). The organisers have also planned a postgraduate symposium dedicated to Magna Carta and its legacy to be held on Tuesday 1 December.

There are a number of travel bursaries available to assist students outside of the University of Canterbury. These will be distributed according to the needs of the applicant and distance travelled.

We invite papers with an interdisciplinary focus within (but not limited to) history, medieval history, political, legal and Maori studies that discuss the historical context of the charter, its influence on social and legal history, and its continued relevance to Australasian law and society.

Expressions of interest and/or paper titles, a 200-word abstract, and 50-word biography should be sent to: magnacartauc@gmail.com by 20 August 2015.
