The British Association of Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) invites proposals for panels, roundtables and papers for its 2017 Annual Conference. The conference will be held 31 March – 2 April and will be based at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, United Kingdom. The 2016 conference attracted more than 400 delegates.
Panels, roundtables and papers are welcome in the following areas: Politics; History; Sociology and Geography; Film and Media, Languages and Linguistics; Literatures and Cultures; Economics. The conference especially welcomes participation by postgraduate research students and young scholars. The 2017 conference coincides with the centenary of the 1917 revolutions in Russia.
