Deadline; January 20, 2023
The Twenty-second Annual Czech and Slovak Studies Workshop, which will be held at UIUC on April 7-8, 2022, welcomes papers on Czech and Slovak topics, broadly defined, in all disciplines. In the past our interdisciplinary conference has drawn participants from colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. Areas of interest have been: anthropology, architecture, art, economics, education, film, geography, history, Jewish studies, literature, music, philosophy, politics, religion, society, sociology, and theater. Work in progress is appropriate for our workshop format. Junior faculty and advanced graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate and will get priority when it comes to accessing our limited funding for travel and accommodation.
This year’s program will also include an invited lecture by Karla Huebner of Wright State University. We plan to hold the workshop in person, with the understanding that these plans are subject to change.
The deadline for submitting proposals is January 20, 2023. The steering committee will review the proposals the following week.
Applications should include:
Paper abstract of approximately 250 words that includes your name and a paper title
Curriculum vitae
Please also indicate whether or not you have attended a Czech and Slovak Studies Workshop in the past.
Application materials, as well as any questions, should be emailed David Cooper at dlcoop@illinois.edu with the subject heading “Czech and Slovak Studies Workshop.”
