THEMATIC panels on Islamic Movements, Genocide and Ethnic Violence, =

AWARDS for Best Graduate Student Papers

AND the screening and discussion of new ** Films/Documentaries**

The ASN Convention, the most attended international and =
inter-disciplinary scholarly gathering of its kind, welcomes proposals =
on a wide range of topics related to national identity, nationalism, =
ethnic conflict, state-building and the study of empires in =
Central/Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Eurasia, and adjacent =
areas. Disciplines represented include political science, history, =
anthropology, sociology, economics, geography, socio-linguistics, =
psychology, and related fields.

For a third consecutive year, the 2006 Convention will feature a section =
devoted to theoretical approaches to nationalism, from any of the =
disciplines listed above. The papers in this section do not necessarily =
have to be grounded in an area of the former Communist bloc usually =
covered by ASN, provided that the issues examined are relevant to a =
truly comparative understanding of nationalism-related issues. In this =
vein, we are welcoming theory-focused and comparative proposals, rather =
than specific case studies from outside Central/Eastern Europe and =
Eurasia.

Since 2005, the ASN Convention is acknowledging excellence in graduate =
studies research in offering Awards for Best Graduate Student Papers in =
five sections: Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus, Central Asia/Eurasia, Central =
Europe, Balkans, and Nationalism Studies. The winners at the 2005 =
Convention were Lisa Koriouchkina (Brown U, Anthropology, =
Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus), Evangelos Liaras (MIT, Political Science, =
Central Asia/Eurasia), Shannon Woodcock (U of Tirana, Anthropology, =
Central Europe), Jessica Greenberg (U of Chicago, Anthropology, =
Balkans), and Bijita Majumdar (Rutgers U, Sociology, Nationalism =
Studies). Graduate student applicants whose proposals will be accepted =
for the 2006 Convention, and whose paper is delivered by the deadline, =
will automatically be considered for the awards.

The 2006 Convention is also inviting submissions for documentaries or =
feature films made within the past year and available in VHS or DVD =
format. Most videos selected for the convention will be screened during =
regular panel slots and will be followed by a discussion moderated by an =
academic expert.

Panels on Turkey, Central Asia, and Eurasia at the 2005 Convention =
included:

Politics and the Nation in Turkey
Empire and Nationhood from Ottomans to Turks
Identity in a Greek-Turkish Environment
Whither Nationhood? European, Turkish, Cypriot?
Are the State of Central Asia "Nationalising States"?
Kyrgyzstan: A Surprise Revolution and Aftermath
Gender in Eurasia and South Asia
Security and Insecurity in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Afghanistan after the Taliban
The Kurds and the Constitutional Future of Iraq
Islam and Nationalism: Comparative Perspectives
State and Society in Central Asia
and many more

The 2006 Convention invites proposals for INDIVIDUAL PAPERS or PANELS. A =
panel includes a chair, three presentations based on written papers, and =
a discussant. Proposals using an INNOVATIVE format are also particularly =
encouraged. Examples of new formats include a roundtable on a new book, =
where the author is being engaged by three discussants; a debate between =
two panelists over a critical research or policy question, following=20
rules of public debating; or special presentations based on original =
papers where the number of discussants is equal or greater than the =
number of presenters.

self-standing, or accompanied by an individual paper proposal.There is =

paper-givers, and a discussant; and the name, affiliation, postal =
