Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS)
CESS 4th Annual Conference - 2003
Preliminary Program
Please Note: This program is tentative and will be updated periodically
before the conference.
The composition of some panels is likely to change, as some panelists
have not yet secured
funding for their participation. Note that the thematic designation of
panels is somewhat imprecise,
since we have worked to make panels interdisciplinary and cross-cutting
thematically, while at the
same time seeking coherence of the panel. Therefore, you can expect to
find papers and panels
of interest in sections other than your primary field.
Overview of the Conference Schedule
October 2 - Thursday
Arrival to the conference Thursday afternoon and evening. From
3:30-5:00 pm, there will be a
registration desk open at the Davis Center (625 Massachusetts Avenue,
2nd floor). Here you can
pick up your registration packet, including information on local cafes
and restaurants. We
encourage you to plan on meeting colleagues and friends here to go out
to dinner together. See
the map and directions to the Davis Center on the Supplementary
Conference Information page.
October 3 - Friday
Sessions begin at 9:00 am at the Davis Center (625 Massachusetts Ave.)
and continue through
6:20 pm.
Central Square provides a wide array of restaurants where conference
attendees can get lunch,
and a limited number of sandwiches will be sold at the conference venue.
At 7:00 pm there will be an informal catered dinner, hosted by the Davis
Center for Russian and

October 4 - Saturday
Sessions begin at 9:00 am and continue through 6:20 pm. The general
panels will be held at the

anticipated).
Plenary Session 1 - "The State of Central Eurasian Studies." Prominent
figures in the field will
discuss current problems and recent achievements in the development of
Central Eurasian studies.
Plenary Session 2 - "Current Issues Facing Central Eurasia." A panel of
political analysts and
practitioners will consider key challenges which Central Eurasians will
have to address in the near
future.
Conference attendees can find a rich array of restaurants for lunch in
Harvard Square, and a limited
number of sandwiches will be sold at the conference venue.
At 7:00 pm, there will be a reception hosted by the Caspian Studies
Program at Harvard's Kennedy
School of Government. Space is limited so sign-up in advance will be
required. There will be
musical performance from the region. Light hors d’oeuvres and drink
will be provided.
October 5 - Sunday
Sessions will begin at the Divinity School at 9:00 am and continue
through 1:00 pm.
