I’m reaching out to you to as OCLAS is preparing a whakawhanaungatanga event for graduates who are working on a thesis in the law and society field, hosted in RLAW5 on Wednesday 1st April. OCLAS would appreciate your help in collating a list of Otago graduates/early career researchers who are working on theses (both Masters and PhD) that could be considered in the ‘law and society’ area, broadly construed. We anticipate there will be relevant students in your department that will benefit from OCLAS support. If you could please advise us of any individual researchers you know working on OCLAS related projects, or advise those students to get in contact with us. Here is some more information you may send through about our upcoming event: Dean of Law Bridgette Toy-Cronin, Professor Anna High and Professor Ben Schonthal as OCLAS Directors would like to invite you to a whakawhanaungatanga event for graduates and early career researchers at Otago in the law and society field. The event will be held on Wednesday the 1st April in RLAW5 (10th Floor of the Richardson Building) from 12pm-1:30pm. We invite you to register for the event using the linked form below, please RSVP before Sunday March 15th. The event will be kōrero focused over some kai: attendees will have the opportunity to informally share their project with fellow OCLAS researchers and will connect with OCLAS support staff. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetkKetbmF7dhWIeeKWAVJGtQo0-IEYYoNzj7ajnf29ehF8qQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2Fe%2F1FAIpQLSetkKetbmF7dhWIeeKWAVJGtQo0-IEYYoNzj7ajnf29ehF8qQ%2Fviewform%3Fusp%3Dpublish-editor&data=05%7C02%7Csocialanthpostgrads%40lists.otago.ac.nz%7C35de70a9b379474ba42a08de7985e7a9%7C0225efc578fe4928b1579ef24809e9ba%7C0%7C0%7C639081813196042733%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=NO6qIw%2BvgTfnLRccTcg7pOE6o1QBJUQCmmgcTr6GvEM%3D&reserved=0> Any information you have that might aid me in creating a list of applicable candidates would be helpful.
