International Colloquium—Vienna

On October 6-7 I helped organize an international colloquium in Vienna, Austria. This was one of a series of conferences I have helped plan this year, but this is the first that I actually went to. The topic of the colloquium was “Developments in Marriage and Marital Law in Central and Eastern Europe: Reports, Prospects and Analysis.” It was held at the Law School at the University of Vienna. The conference involved about 35 scholars from 13 different countries.

Jon flew in for the last day of the conference so that we could tour Austria after it ended. I was really happy to be back. I lived in Vienna for 4 months during college on a German study abroad program. It has been seven years since I was there and it feels like a completely different lifetime. I loved being back and being able to share it with Jon.
