Deadline: January 15, 2021
The Central Slavic Conference is pleased to invite scholars from all
disciplines working in Slavic, Eurasian, and East European studies to
submit proposals for panels, individual papers, and roundtables at its
annual meeting from March 11-13, 2021. Sessions will be held on Thursday
afternoon, Friday afternoon and Saturday.
In a departure from past practice, this conference will be entirely
virtual and will not take place at the Missouri Athletic Club and Hotel
in St. Louis, as happened in recent years. We will leverage the virtual
platform with the aim of generating dynamic exchanges in new and
exciting ways.
Founded in 1962 as the Bi-State Slavic Conference, the Central Slavic
Conference now encompasses seven states and is the oldest of the
regional affiliates of ASEEES (Association for Slavic, East European,
and Eurasian Studies). Scholars from outside the region and from around
the world are welcome.
Proposals for papers, panels, and roundtables should be submitted by
email to CSC President Charles Allen at russky22@hotmail.com no later
than January 15, 2021.
All proposals should include:
• Participant name, affiliation, and email contact information;
• For individual paper presentation: title and description (100 words
minimum);
• For panels: panel title + above information for each participant and
discussant (if applicable);
• For roundtables: roundtable title and participant information.
As in recent years, the CSC will dedicate a separate portion of the
conference to undergraduate research presentations. Undergraduate
participants should provide the name and contact details of the faculty
member who is supporting them.
Conference fees are 25 dollars for faculty and 10 dollars for graduate
students and undergraduates.
Timberlake Memorial Graduate Paper Prize
Graduate students who present at the CSC Annual Meeting are invited to
participate in the Charles Timberlake Graduate Paper Prize competition.
Dedicated to the memory of Charles Timberlake as a teacher and mentor,
the prize carries a cash award.
Please join us for what promises to be an engaging event. The CSC exists
to encourage new talent in a supportive, collegial atmosphere. Be a part
of the CSC’s amazing journey.
