Awards for Best Doctoral 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 fifth consecutive year, the 2007 Convention will feature a
section devoted to theoretical approaches to nationalism, from any of
the disciplines listed above. The papers in this section need not 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 has acknowledged excellence in graduate
studies research by offering Awards for Best Doctoral Student Papers
in five sections: Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus, Central Asia/Eurasia,
Central Europe, Balkans, and Nationalism Studies. The winners at the
2005 Convention were Kelly O'Neill (Harvard U, History,
Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus), Yuriy Malikov (History, U of California,
Santa Barbara, Central Asia/Eurasia), Andrew Demshuk (U of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, History, Central Europe), and Tamara Pavasovic
(Harvard U, Sociology, Balkans). Doctoral student applicants whose
proposals will be accepted for the 2007 Convention, who have not
defended their dissertation by 1 November 2006, and whose paper is
delivered by the deadline, will automatically be considered for the awards.

The 2007 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.

The 2007 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, in which the author is being engaged by three
discussants; a debate between two panelists over a critical research
or policy question, following 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. Other innovative
formats are also welcome.

The 2007 Convention is also welcoming offers to serve as DISCUSSANT on
a panel to be created by the program committee from individual paper
proposals. The application to be considered as discussant can be
self-standing, or accompanied by an individual paper proposal.

There is no application form to fill out in order to send proposals to
the convention. All proposals must be sent by email to Dominique Arel
at darel at uottawa.ca (backup address: darelasn at gmail.com).

Individual paper proposals must include the name, email and
affiliation of the author, a postal address for paper mail, the title
of the paper, a 500-word abstract and a 100-word biographical
statement that includes full bibliographic references of your last or
forthcoming publication, if applicable (graduate students must
indicate the title of their dissertation and year of projected
defense. They can also submit the full bibliographic references of a
recent or forthcoming publication).

Panel proposals must include the title of the panel, a chair, three
paper-givers with the title of their papers, and a discussant; the
name, affiliation, email, postal address and 100-word biographical
statements of each participant and include full bibliographic
references of their last or forthcoming publication, if applicable
(graduate students can indicate the title of their dissertation and
year of projected defense).

Proposals for films or videos must include the name, email and
affiliation of the author, a postal address for paper mail, the title,
a 500-word abstract of the film/video and a 100-word biographical statement.

Proposals using an innovative format must include the title of the
panel, the names, emails, affiliations, postal addresses, 100-word
biographical statements of each participant (same specifications as
above) and a discussion on the proposed format.

Individual proposals to serve as discussant must include the name,
email, affiliation, postal address, and areas of expertise of the
applicant, and a 100-word biographical statement (same specifications
as above).

All proposals must be included in the body of a single email.
Attachments will be accepted only if they repeat the content of an
email message/proposal, and if all the information is contained in a
single attachment.

Participants are responsible for covering all travel and accommodation
costs. ASN has no funding available for panelists.

An international Program Committee will be entrusted with the
selection of proposals. Applicants will be notified in December 2006
or early January 2007. Information regarding registration costs and
other logistical questions will be communicated afterwards.

The full list of panels from last year's convention, for the
geographical and thematic sections, and the section on Theories of
Nationalism, can be accessed at
http://www.nationalities.org/ASN_2006_final_Program.pdf. The
film/video lineup can be accessed at
http://www.nationalities.org/ASN_2006_final_film_lineup.pdf. The
programs from past conventions, going back to 2001, are also online.

Several dozen publishers and companies have had exhibits and/or
advertised in the Convention Program in past years. Due to
considerations of space, advertisers and exhibitors are encouraged to
place their order early. For information, please contact Convention
Executive Director Gordon N. Bardos (gnb12 at columbia.edu).

Participants are invited to join ASN by logging in to
http://www.nationalities.org/member_Info.asp. A yearly membership to
ASN is $65 ($35 for students). Members receive the journal
Nationalities Papers quarterly, a subscription discount to ASN's new

World Convention, and other perks.

We look forward to seeing you at the convention!
