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 31, 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.

CFP: Special Section in East European Politics and Societies: Political Thought in Central and Eastern Europe

Deadline: September 1, 2025

Proposed title: Political Thought in Central and Eastern Europe

Guest editors:
Aurelian Craiutu, Department of Political Science, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA, acraiutu@iu.edu
Venelin Ganev, Department of Political Science, Miami University of Ohio, USA, ganevvi@MiamiOH.edu

Rationale:
Ideas have always mattered a great deal in Central and Eastern Europe where they had lasting and wide-ranging political implications. The major world wars that started there upended the old global order and redefined the map of the entire world. Regrettably, unlike the case of Russia, the political thought of Central and Eastern Europe has remained understudied in Western academic circles. To give just an example, the influential series of Cambridge History of Political Thought has had virtually no place for Central and Eastern European thinkers. The impact of the ideas of the Enlightenment and Romanticism on intellectual and political life in Central and Eastern Europe has been understudied, along with the emergence of emancipatory national movements or the growth of irrationalism and anti-Semitism in the twentieth century.

CFP: Special Section in East European Politics and Societies: New Debates in Romani Studies

Deadline: August 30, 2025

Proposed title: Contested pasts and enduring injustices: New debates in Romani studies

Romani Studies scholars have recently scrutinized the field’s epistemology and Western paradigms, the lasting effect of structures and inequalities that transcend governmental change, the effect of integration policies and environmental racism, and the ethical imperatives of scholarly engagement with these issues. This thematic cluster invites contributions that critically engage with the newest emerging debates in Romani Studies that interrogate structures of power, racialization, and systemic exclusion in Central and Eastern Europe.

Guest editors:
Delia Popescu, Le Moyne College, US, popescd@lemoyne.edu
Lavinia Stan, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada, lstan@stfx.ca

Format:
We invite submissions for a cluster that will include five research articles authored by established scholars and three articles authored by emerging scholars recruited from among those who will respond to a call posted on the EEPS website and distributed widely through other venues.
