Georgetown University Press is delighted to announce the publication of Etazhi. This book, coauthored by Evgeny Dengub and Susanna Nazarova, uses the communicative approach to advance student’s Russian proficiency from the Novice High / Intermediate Low level of the ACTFL scale to an Intermediate Mid / Intermediate High level. Designed for one academic year of instruction, Etazhi engages students with highly relevant topics to internalize new vocabulary, expand their grammatical reach, and deepen their cultural understanding of Russian speakers.

CFP: ‘Queer Life-Writing in Russia and Beyond’ Primary Sources and Translations
Deadline: October 31, 2021
A special issue of the journal AvtobiografiЯ, devoted to ‘Queer Life Writing in Russia and Beyond’, will be published in December 2022. The issue will include ten articles on the poetics of queer life-writing in Russian and Russophone literature, and includes new critical approaches to familiar figures such as Durova, Eisenstein, Mogutin, as well as work on lesser-known contemporary writers such as Olga Zhuk and Andrei Dittsel’.
While we are no longer accepting expressions of interest for journal articles, we are keen to receive proposals for the ‘Materials’ [Материалы] section of the journal. This section provides a home for primary sources related to the journal’s theme that are relatively unknown or have not been published before. This section also houses translations of relevant texts (normally translations from Russian into English or Italian, the three working languages of the journal). Such texts can be accompanied by an introductory note.

Soviet Materialities
Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK

The aim of this conference is to explore how a turn towards materiality can enrich our understanding of the Soviet cultural landscape. We invite proposals that consider material and objects, their journeys through time and space, their processes of making and re-making, and how those perspectives might uncover alternative modernisms, defamiliarise Sovietness, and explore the diversity of Soviet experiences and identities.

Deadline: November 15, 2021
The Global Governance, Justice, & Security Program at the Stimson Center
As the world confronts myriad, interconnected challenges — from ending civil wars and extreme poverty to combating climate change and information warfare — the very concept of global collective action is in question. At the same time, the world faces a severe, and widening, governance deficit as our system of global governance is continually asked to do more with less. In addition to multiple challenges and obstacles to deliver justice and security across the globe, the current system is under attack by resurgent nationalism, protectionism, and critiques of the multilateral system’s legitimacy. Stimson’s Global Governance, Justice & Security Program 〈GGJustSec〉 aims to advance more capable global and regional institutions to better cope with existing and emerging global challenges and to create new opportunities through effective multilateral action, including with the global business community and civil society.
