For the first few months, it will be edited by Dapo Akande (right), a Visiting Associate Professor and Robina Foundation International Scholar at the Yale Law School. Dapo, originally from Nigeria, is also a Yamani Fellow, a Tutor in Public International Law, and a University Lecturer with St. Peter's College, University of Oxford.
EJIL: Talk! hopes to follow in the tradition of the EJIL with
its panache for the theoretical article, for aggressively bringing in younger scholars, for its intellectually diverse modes of analysis, realism mixed with doctrine, a strong appeal to, and interest in, history, to mention but a few.
The blog is a welcome edition to the EJIL's already vibrant online presence; a sizeable portion of the journal's current content is already made free to the reader, and all content becomes free one year after publication. Cross-posting is welcome.
Heartfelt welcome!
