[Bilimsel Haber] Graduate Student Pre-Conference in Turkish and Turkic Studies (November 22-25, 2008 in Washington, DC)

[Onur Inal]

CONFERENCE

SECOND CIRCULAR

The American Association of Teachers of Turkic Languages (AATT) is pleased
to announce the fourth annual "Graduate Student Pre-Conference in Turkish
and Turkic Studies". This Pre-Conference was established to mark the 20th
anniversary of the founding of AATT. The fourth Pre-Conference is
co-sponsored by the Institute for Turkish Studies and the Turkish Cultural
Foundation.

The fourth annual Pre-Conference will be co-hosted on Friday evening,
November 21 and Saturday, November 22, by Georgetown University and the
Institute of Turkish Studies. This year it will again be held in conjunction
with the annual meeting of the Middle East Studies Association to be held
November 22-25, 2008 in Washington, DC. Pre-Conference participants are
strongly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the MESA
conference. (Some meetings of the Pre-Conference are coordinated with the
annual meeting of the Central Eurasian Studies Society.)

The Pre-Conference is designed to encourage research making significant use
of sources in Turkish and Turkic languages by graduate students in Turkish
and Turkic Studies in North America. It will promote contact between
students at various institutions and allow for feedback from faculty
discussants participating in the pre-conference. Another goal is to help
students progress towards more formal presentations at national conferences
such as those of MESA, CESS, and organizations devoted to specific
disciplines.

AATT will award a limited number of travel awards to help subvent the cost
of student participation. Students are also encouraged to seek funding from
their home institutions.

Students should submit a 250 word proposal for a paper together with the
following information:

1. Name
2. Current institutional affiliation (department/university)
3. Adviser's name
4. Educational background (undergraduate and graduate degree programs) 
5. Current status (taking courses, preparing for exams, researching
dissertation, writing dissertation, defended/deposited dissertation) 
6. Title of dissertation (if applicable) 
7. Contact information (email, telephone number, preferred mailing address)

The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday, September 12, 2008.
