CFP: Higher Education Policy in Non or Partly Recognized States and Entities: Negotiating Sovereignty and Seeking Epistemic Justice (Prague)

Deadline: September 5, 2025

The Small Nation(-States) Research Centre (SnS), Institute of International Studies, Charles University, invites abstract proposals for a hybrid workshop entitled Higher Education Policy in Non or Partly Recognized States and Entities: Negotiating Sovereignty and Seeking Epistemic Justice to be held on November 6th, 2025, in Prague (both in-person and online).

• Submission deadline for abstracts: September 5th, 2025
• Notification of acceptance: September 30th, 2025

Higher education has long been one of the most powerful instruments for legitimizing state claims and cultivating national consciousness. In non- or partly-recognized states (NPRS), universities and other higher education institutions (HEIs) not only shape local identity and historical narratives but also attempt to secure symbolic and material forms of recognition—whether through accreditation, partnerships, or student and faculty mobility. At the same time, crises of sovereignty, conflict, or political fragmentation often force HEIs into exile, split institutions, or compel them to operate under severe political constraints.

CFP: Contemporary Political Myth and Reality in Eurasia (University of Texas at Austin)

Deadline: October 15, 2025

The University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, Clements Center for National Security, and Department of Government are pleased to announce a joint conference on Contemporary Political Myth and Reality in Eurasia, taking place February 12-13, 2026, at UT Austin.

Eurasian states face mounting challenges amid growing polarization, gaps between social needs and political responses, and disinformation blurring myth and reality. Further, Eurasian states face additional pressures from a legacy of authoritarian rule, active conflict and irredentism, and political mobilization of social divisions across the region. Yet Eurasian countries also have unique strengths in navigating these challenges, with strong national identities, robust civic engagement, bursts of democratic progress, and deep cultural traditions.
