On October 2, 2026, the Center for Justice, Law, and Societies is hosting the Northeast Law and Society Retreat. This event brings together graduate students and faculty from the region who engage in the study of law from social science and humanistic perspectives.
This year, we are inviting undergraduate students from the Five Colleges and beyond to share their research as part of a poster session. The posters will be set up in the morning (by 11:30am) and taken down at the end of the day (by 6pm). The posters should focus on original research projects related to law, broadly defined.
Poster submissions are competitive and will be selected by a team of faculty members. Posters should be no larger than 36 X 48.
Participants are encouraged to follow this advice when creating their posters: https://honorspaths.honors.umass.edu/massurc/home/creating_your_poster.
To apply for this opportunity or to ask any questions, please send a one-page description of the research project and a resume to Professors Paul Collins (pmcollins@umass.edu) and Jamie Rowen (jrowen@umass.edu). Applications are due on September 1, 2026.
