*Call for Papers*

*Central Eurasian Studies Society Tenth Annual Conference (2009)*

 

October 8-11, 2009

University of Toronto, Canada

 

The Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS) invites panel and paper 
proposals for the Tenth Annual CESS Conference, October 8-11, 2009, in 
Toronto, Canada. The event will be held at The University of Toronto, 
hosted by *the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (Munk 
Centre for International Studies). *Panels begin Friday morning, October 
8, and continue through mid-day on Sunday, October 11.

 

Panel and paper topics relating to all aspects of humanities and social 
science scholarship on Central Eurasia are welcome. The geographic 
domain of Central Eurasia extends from the Black Sea and Iranian Plateau 
to Mongolia and Siberia, including the Caucasus, Crimea, Middle Volga, 
Afghanistan, Tibet, and Central and Inner Asia. Practitioners and 
scholars in all humanities and social science disciplines with an 
interest in Central Eurasia are encouraged to participate. This year, 
due to the increased opportunity for scholars from Iran to obtain visas 
to the host country, we especially encourage proposals that touch on 
Iran in the broader context of Central Eurasia.

 

The program will feature approximately 45 panels and there will also be 
a supplementary program including a welcome reception on Thursday, a 
conference dinner and a keynote speaker.

 

Deadline for submission of panel/paper proposals: *February 1, 2009.*
