The deadline for paper and panel/roundtable proposals is Friday, 29 September 2023.

BASEES welcomes paper, panel and roundtable proposals in the following areas: Politics; History; Sociology and Geography; Film and Media, Languages and Linguistics; Literatures and Cultures; Anthropology; and Economics. We particularly welcome proposals that help to push forward the work to decentralise and decolonise the study of the former ‘communist bloc’ of the Soviet Union, East Central Europe and Asia. The conference especially welcomes participation by postgraduate research students and early career scholars.

The conference organisers also welcome proposals for thematic colloquiums that can be held as part of the conference. If you would like to propose a colloquium, please email the conference organiser at academic.organisers@basees.org

Remote attendance:

BASEES is welcoming remote paper presentations. If you wish to attend remotely, please indicate so when submitting your proposal. However, we cannot accept fully remote panels. The Chair of a panel, who can also be one of the presenters, must attend the conference in-person to lead the session and facilitate the discussion. We are operating a limited hybrid model. Delegates registering for remote attendance will be able to present their paper via Zoom and listen into all paper/panels. Full hybrid, i.e. using special 360° camera, mic and speaker equipment, will only be available in a very small number of rooms.
