> THE CENTRAL EURASIAN STUDIES SOCIETY
> 
> The Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS) is a private, non-political,
> non-profit, U.S.-based organization of scholars who are interested in the
> study of Central Eurasia, and its history, languages, cultures, and modern
> states and societies. We define the Central Eurasian region broadly to
> include Turkic, Mongolian, Iranian, Caucasian, Tibetan and other peoples.
> Geographically, Central Eurasia extends from the Black Sea region, the
> Crimea, and the Caucasus in the west, through the Middle Volga region,
> Central Asia and Afghanistan, and on to Siberia, Mongolia and Tibet in the
> east.
> 
> The Central Eurasian Studies Society's purpose is to promote high standards
> of research and teaching, and to foster communication among scholars through
> meetings and publications. The Society works to facilitate interaction among
> senior, established scholars, junior scholars, graduate students, and
> independent scholars in North America and throughout the world. We hold an
> Annual Conference, and coordinate panels at various conferences relevant to
> Central Eurasian studies. The Society also works to promote the publication
> of peer-reviewed scholarship and other information essential to the building
> of the field.
> 
> We invite anyone who shares these interests to become a member and
> participate in our activities.
