This week, I-CONnect will host an online symposium on “Constitutional Boundaries,” the subject of a Workshop convened by Farrah Ahmed (Melbourne), Adam Perry (Oxford) and me at Melbourne Law School with the support of Allen Myers Oxford-MLS Research Partnership. In addition to the Workshop, the Research Partnership funded a stay in Melbourne for Adam Perry and me to collaborate on a paper with Farrah Ahmed. That paper, entitled “Judging Constitutional Conventions,” is now forthcoming in the International Journal of Constitutional Law. It is available here in its original form, prior to substantial revisions that have since been made.
The online symposium will feature short posts from the following scholars, in addition to a jointly-authored post by Farrah Ahmed, Adam Perry and me:
1. N.W. Barber

Trinity College
Oxford University
2. Jeff King

3. Janet McLean

5. Adrienne Stone

The Workshop focused on questions relating to where the boundaries of constitutions are drawn, and the normative and legal significance of these boundaries. We hope that readers will find the upcoming posts interesting and provocative, and also useful for their own research.
