Re:   Reminder - CESS Annual Conference Proposal Deadline April 2

Dear Dr. Pultar:

I am writing to deliver a gentle reminder that the deadline for submission
of papers to the Fifth Annual Conference (2004) of the Central Eurasian
Studies Society is April 2. I hope you will participate in the conference,
either as a presenter, organizer or as an attendee. Last year's conference
was a huge success, attracting more than 800 fellow Central Eurasianists,
and this year's conference promises to showcase yet more top-notch
scholarship on the region.

There is less than a month left to put together your abstract or panel
proposal. I especially encourage panel organizers to get busy now in order
to facilitate high quality panels. If you have already submitted a proposal,
you will receive confirmation of that soon -- this note doesn't mean it
hasn't been received.

A brief version of the earlier call for papers can be found below.

With warm regards,

Laura Adams
CESS 2004 Conference co-Chair


The CENTRAL EURASIAN STUDIES SOCIETY (CESS) invites panel and paper
proposals for the Fifth CESS Annual Conference, October 14-17, 2004, in
Bloomington, Indiana.  The event will be held at Indiana University,
hosted by the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center.

Submissions of pre-organized panels are strongly encouraged and will be
given some preference in the selection process.  Individual papers are
also welcome and will be assigned by the program committee to an
appropriate panel with a chair and a discussant.  We also welcome
attendees who do not wish to participate in a panel (see the
Registration/Pre-registration Form for information:
http://cess.fas.harvard.edu/CESS_Conf-Reg.html).

SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

The Conference Committee accepts ONLY ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS -- either
by webform (see forms for Pre-organized Panels and for Individual Papers
at: http://cess.fas.harvard.edu/CESS_Conference.html), or by an e-mailed
form in MS Word format in the case of those who don't have web access.
This is because website submissions can more easily be processed than
other methods, and we have limited resources to manage the hundreds of
submissions that we anticipate receiving.  Those who don't have access
to the website may contact us and we will e-mail the submission forms in
MS Word format.

Deadline for submission of panel/paper proposals:  APRIL 2, 2004.
