The North East Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (NESEEES)
Executive Board invites proposals for individual papers and complete
panels for the 41st annual NESEEES conference. The conference will be
held on Saturday, April 4th, 2020 at the NYU Jordan Center for the
Advanced Study of Russia. Scholarly papers and panels are welcome on
any aspect of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies. Proposals for
complete panels of thematically related papers are strongly
encouraged. Recommendations for discussants and chairs are not required
for panel proposals but are invited and will be taken into
consideration.
Proposals may be submitted directly by graduate students enrolled in
related programs as well as by independent scholars with academic
credentials and by faculty members of all ranks. Proposals may be
submitted on behalf of undergraduate students by faculty mentors
supervising their projects. Scholars wishing to volunteer their
services as chairs or discussants may do so using the space provided on
the proposal submission form.
Please submit your proposals to: https://forms.gle/hneRX3J6AwMzaonG6 no later than Monday, January 6th, 2020.
NESEEES awards an annual prize for the best graduate student paper
presented at the conference. The selection committee may award a
second-place prize when appropriate. Following the conference, a
deadline will be announced by which graduate students should submit
revised papers to the competition. Visual materials accompanying the
presentation at the Conference may be submitted along with the written
text. The papers must be between 6,000 and 12,500 words in length. The
first prize paper will be entered in the national ASEEES competition for
the best graduate student paper presented at a regional affiliate
conference.
