[Discussion] The Tenth Annual Conference of the Central and Inner Asia Seminar

[Gonul]

CONF./CFP- 10th Annual CIAS Conference, Univ. of Toronto, April 2004

The Tenth Annual Conference of the Central and Inner Asia Seminar (CIAS
2004) will be held at the University of Toronto on April 15-17 2004.  The
theme of this gathering will be "The Domestic Environment of Central and
Inner Asia".

A range of interpretations of this theme is possible:

 - "domestic" may  relate to the home or circumstances of the ordinary man,
woman or child, or, on a broader scale, it could mean communal or national
as opposed to cross-border or international.

 - "environment" may be interpreted widely, including cultural, social,
political, legal, religious, educational, or natural surroundings.

The proceedings of the conference will be published in due course in
"Toronto Studies in Central and Inner Asia".  Volume 6, covering CIAS 2002
and 2003, is currently in press.

This is an invitation to submit proposals for papers, which may be 20 or 40
minutes long. Please include the title, a one-page summary and a short copy
of your curriculum vitae and send them, by email, to me at
gillian.long@utoronto.ca or to Professor Michael Gervers at
gervers@chass.utoronto.ca   The deadline for submissions is December 17,
2003 and those selected will be notified by email as soon as possible
thereafter.

We regret that we do not have the financial resources to help with any
travel costs. However we will do our best to expedite visa applications and
offer hospitality during the conference.

Please forward this message to anyone else who may be interested.  For
