Call for Contributions to a Special issue on Equity and Access to Higher Education: Perspectives from Central Asia

Achieving equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in higher education is gaining global significance. However, EDI discussions in post-Soviet Central Asia are limited, focusing mainly on inclusion tied to international development and government policies for special needs students. This special issue aims to address this gap by providing a platform for scholars to explore access and EDI values’ relevance in Central Asia’s multicultural societies, which are diversifying along linguistic, economic, and cultural lines. Papers of various types and approaches are welcome, with a focus on questions such as policy understanding, barriers, opportunities, effective approaches, local vs. international conceptualizations, and the neocolonial agenda’s role.

The timeline for the preparation of this special issue is as follows: 

October 15, 2023 – 500 word abstracts should be submitted to the editors by email (aliya.kuzhabekova@nu.edu.kz and juldyz@kimep.kz). 

January 31, 2024 – drafts of invited papers should be submitted via the journal submission system with the indication that the paper is a part of the special issue. 

December, 31, 2024 – special issue will be ready for publication online. 

Any questions about the special issue and additional instructions can be requested by writing to Aliya Kuzhabekova at aliya.kuzhabekova@ucalgary.ca.

12th Biennial Medieval Slavic Summer Institute (MSSI) at The Ohio State University

Deadline: March 1, 2024

The Hilandar Research Library (HRL), in collaboration with the Resource Center for Medieval Slavic Studies (RCMSS) and the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures (SEELC) at The Ohio State University, offers a biennial four-week Medieval Slavic Summer Institute (MSSI) in Columbus, Ohio. This intensive program caters to graduate students and focuses on two key areas: Manuscript Description and Access and Readings in Church Slavonic, utilizing microform materials from the HRL’s extensive collection. The curriculum includes lectures and hands-on assignments related to manuscript study and specific topics. Participants, limited to a maximum of 12, are expected to master the skills necessary to describe original Slavic manuscripts by the program’s conclusion. However, due to its rigorous nature, MSSI does not accommodate outside commitments such as teaching online courses or extensive individual research. Eligible applicants should be graduate students with a BA degree and proficiency in Cyrillic and at least one Slavic language, with preference given to those knowledgeable in Old Church Slavonic or other pre-modern Slavic languages. The HRL boasts the world’s largest collection of medieval Slavic Cyrillic texts on microform, sourced from over 100 institutions in twenty-three countries, comprising over 6,000 Cyrillic manuscripts and over 1,000 early pre-1800 printed books, spanning from the eleventh to twentieth centuries, with a notable concentration from the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, predominantly East Slavic and South Slavic in origin.
