Welcome to the SLSA Blog
This newly launched SLSA blog, however, seeks to make its own contribution to this crowded market of online discussion and debate. Building on the work of the Socio-Legal Studies Association, it is an academic blog focused exclusively on issues of interest to the socio-legal community.
There are three things we encourage our readers (you!) to do:
- Consider submitting a post: Information is available on the “Submit Content” page.
- Comment on an existing post: Take part in the discussion and give your view.
- Share this blog: Tell others and help us grow from this initial launch.
Finally, the blog editors and the SLSA committee would welcome any feedback going forward. Having just launched, we are keen to grow with both our SLSA members and any broader readership, and welcome comments, ideas and criticisms however big or small, on how we can best develop this online platform into something useful for the socio-legal community. If you have any suggestions, please email us at: blogeditors@slsa.ac.uk.
Thank you for visiting, and we hope you enjoy reading your posts.
