Dates: October 16-18, 2025.
Location: Tashkent State University of Economics, Tashkent.
The fundamental questions “Why does academic freedom exist?” and “For whom does it exist?” remain central to contemporary debates about the role and function of higher education and research institutions.

CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS
Special Issue of RLJ, Volume 76, Issue 1 (June 2026)
“Career Readiness in Learning and Teaching Slavic Languages”
Victoria Hasko and Karen Evans-Romaine, editors
Proposals due March 31, 2025
Full manuscripts due July 15, 2025 – rljeditor@gmail.com
_________________________________________________________________________
Purpose, Aims, and Foci of the Special Issue:
The 2023 Modern Language Association (MLA) report reveals that most collegiate modern language programs are experiencing declining enrollments nationwide (Lusin et al., 2023). This trend is creating a pressing need to articulate the relevance and value of language proficiency to language learners, parents, and campus administrators. At the same time, the report suggests that some language programs are thriving, and it attributes their vitality at least in part to the integration of career readiness into world language programming (ibid.). While a specific roadmap for such integration is lacking, the report highlights promising initiatives such as collaboration with career services, the inclusion of content courses tailored for specific professional purposes, and inclusion of language programs into interdisciplinary degrees and certificates. Recent learner surveys also suggest that students may be more committed to language programs that prepare them to apply their language knowledge effectively in diverse, real-world contexts, including professional internships, study abroad opportunities, and community partnerships (Morgan & Thompson, 2023; Murphy et al., 2022; also see JNCL-NCLIS, 2024).
