Submissions/Translations Wanted: Asymptote Journal

Deadline: Ongoing

Asymptote, an international journal of literature that has previously published new work by authors such as J.M. Coetzee, Lydia Davis, and Haruki Murakami, from over one hundred countries and languages.

At Asymptote we aim to expose our readers to the multitude of perspectives and experiences that exist outside the anglophone and particularly in languages that are not frequently translated. I want to bring more Georgian, North Caucus, Eastern European, and Central Asian voices into the journal and as the Communication Coordinator for so many academic programs in the region, you seem like the perfect point of contact. I’m interested in a whole range of subjects, especially essays and even journalism that speak to conversations about literature, politics, and culture in the region today that outside readers wouldn’t be aware of.

Call for Abstracts: The Life and Death of Cold War Funding

Deadline: July 1, 2025

Special Issue of The Russian Review

From Fulbright and IREX scholarships facilitating in-country immersion, to the Wilson Center’s efforts to connect academics and policymakers, to Title VI and Title VIII support for less commonly taught “critical” languages, funding programs that began in the Cold War shaped the field of Russian and Eastern European studies in enduring ways. These programs not only helped the US government “know its enemy” but also consolidated and institutionalized new fields of knowledge (“area studies”), trained experts in the United States, and developed a network of content-creators in the region. Despite its ideological partiality, this system of knowledge production helped soften hearts and minds on both sides of the so-called Iron Curtain. Though the original political impetus behind these programs ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union, many initiatives survived. Even after the Cold War they funded the continued creation of cross-cultural knowledge and expertise, training the next generation of American scholars, and bringing academics, writers, and other practitioners from the region to the West.
