DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism invites you to 
 the following talk With Gleider Hernández\n\nThursday\, Jan 27\n\n10:30-11
 :30 am EST\n\nOn Zoom. All are welcome\n\nAbout the talk\n\nIn this presen
 tation\, I propose to give both some practical advice to early career rese
 archers contemplating a career in international law\, but also intersperse
 d with some wider observations of international law scholarship as a disci
 pline inextricably intertwined with the profession. I intend to share some
  thoughts about my own career in academia\, civil service\, activism and p
 ractice and how these have interacted (but also perhaps influenced) my aca
 demic methodology and scholarship. Moreover\, as the author of a textbook 
 used for international law teaching\, I intend to explore the enduring ten
 sion between a formalist-positivist stance and the critical challenges tha
 t have emerged in scholarship in the last decades. I will conclude with a 
 few thoughts and reflections on publication strategy at the earliest stage
 s: on the notion of audience\; on thinking about your own situation as a l
 egal professional\; and developing an autonomous ‘voice’.\n\n\n	About the s
