Call For Papers

14th Annual Central Eurasian Studies Conference

Domestic Submission deadline: 09 February 2007

ACES invites panel and individual paper proposals for the Fourteenth
Annual Central Eurasian Studies Conference to be held Saturday 31
March and Sunday 01 April 2007 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.

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.

In conjunction with the Student Association of Indiana University's
Near Eastern Languages and Cultures Graduate Student Association
(NELCGSA), ACES is pleased to announce a Special Panel Series on
topics in Turkish and Persian Studies at the conference.  Submissions
are warmly welcomed.

In order to accommodate increasing submissions and attendance, ACES
has expanded the 2007 conference to a two-day program.  Scholars
addressing Balto-Finnic and Hungarian Studies are particularly
encouraged to submit proposals.

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