Proposals are invited for panels and papers for the 2011 Annual Conference of the British Association of Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES). We are particularly keen to receive proposals for complete panels but we are also happy to receive paper proposals that the organising committee will try to put together into panels. At its post-conference meeting the BASEES committee established a conference organising group for 2011 with separate panel streams on:
(i)culture/literature/media/gender studies;
(ii)languages/linguistics;
(iii)politics/international relations;
(iv)history;
(v)economics/political economy/industrial relations/regional policy; and
(vi)sociology/social anthropology/geography/social policy.
Members of the organising group are:
Culture/literature/media/gender studies: Dr Sarah Hudspith and Dr Seth Graham
Economics/political economy/industrial relations/regional policy: Professor Martin Myant
History: Dr Matthias Neumann
Languages, linguistics: Dagmar Divjak
Politics/international relations: Dr Karen Henderson
Sociology/social anthropology/geography/social policy: Dr John Round
To propose a panel or a paper you will need to fill in a proposal form. You should download the form and fill it in electronically, and send it electronically to the appropriate subject stream organiser AND to the conference email address. We are particularly keen to hear from postgraduate students. Postgraduate members of BASEES who present papers are eligible to apply for financial support towards their conference costs. All enquiries regarding membership should be addressed to the membership secretary, Dr Jenny Mathers. The application procedure is described on the website.: http://www.basees.org.uk/conference.shtml
The deadline for all your suggestions is September 15, 2010 but it will greatly assist us if you can send us your views in the nearest future.
