The Baltic Sea Region is home to numerous cultures and societies. Through interdisciplinary scholarly discussions, the Slavic Reference Service and the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies seek to bring together scholars in all disciplines and stages of the research process to discuss the theme of Nation and Sovereignty. Individual papers, panels, and roundtables may take on the many facets, forms of expression, ecosystems, and perspectives that shape the idea of a nation-state and sovereignty.

Graduate students, policy researchers, postdocs, and recent graduates in all disciplines are especially encouraged to submit proposals. You can upload a 250-word abstract here – https://uofi.app.box.com/f/d012757a5f8e4983affdd547b609b16e

Forum participants will have the opportunity to network and interact with librarians, archivists, and scholars from the region. All are welcome!

Subthemes of the Research Forum include:

· Language and literatures

· Self-determination

· National identities

· Foreign policy

· Regional security

Deadline to submit proposals: September 19, 2022.

Notification of acceptance: September 23, 2022.
