ACES invites panel and individual paper proposals for the Fifteenth 
Annual Central Eurasian Studies Conference to be held Saturday, 22 March 
and Sunday, 23 March 2008 at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. 
Graduate students, professors, and independent scholars are cordially 
invited to submit abstracts of papers covering all topics pertaining to 
Central Eurasian Studies.

Building on the success of past ACES conferences, this year's conference 
will feature Marianne Kamp, a historian from the University of Wyoming, 
who has published notable works on contemporary Central Asia, as the 
Keynote Speaker. This year's Distinguished Speaker will be Edward 
Lazzerini, of Indiana University's Department of Central Eurasian Studies.

Central Eurasian Studies is defined for the purposes of this conference 
as the study of the historical and contemporary Afghan, Balto-Finnic, 
Hungarian, Mongolic, Persian, Tibetan, Tungusic, and Turkic peoples, 
languages, cultures, and states.

An extensive, but by no means comprehensive, list of topics addressed by 
this conference may be found at the end of this announcement.
