Proposal deadline: 5 November 2008

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, the Bal-kans, Eurasia, and adjacent areas. Disciplines
represented include political science, history, anthropology, sociology,
international studies, security studies, economics, geography and
geopolitics, sociolinguistics, psychology, and related fields.
The Convention also features 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 nation-alism-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. A dozen panels
are normally featured in the Nationalism section.
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 2008 Convention were
Jesse Driscoll (Stanford U, Political Science) for Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus,
Sarah Cameron (History, Yale U) and Kristin Fabbe (Political Science, MIT,
US) for Central Asia/Eurasia/Turkey, Helena Toth (Harvard U, History) for
Central Europe, Valentina Burrai (UC London, UK, Po-litical Science) for the
Balkans, and Lee Seymour (Northwestern U, Political Science) for Nationalism
Studies. Doctoral student applicants whose proposals are accepted for the
2009 Convention, who have not defended their dissertation by 1 November
2008, and whose papers are delivered by the deadline, will automatically be
considered for the awards.
The 2008 Convention has also invited submissions for documentaries or
feature films made within the past few years and available in VHS or DVD
format. Most films selected for the convention will be screened during
regular panel slots and will be followed by a discussion moderated by an
academic expert. More information about the 2008 films can be found here
<http://www.nationalities.org/convention/films.asp> .
The 2009 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 encouraged. Examples of
new formats in-clude a roundtable on a new book, in which the author is
being engaged by three discussants (twelve book panels were featured in the
2008 Convention); 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 to or greater than the number of presenters.
The 2009 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.
An international Program Committee will be entrusted with the selection of
proposals. Applicants will be notified in December 2008 or January 2009.
Information regarding registration costs and other logistical questions will
be communicated afterwards.
The programs from past conventions, going back to 2001, are also online and
can be accessed  <http://www.nationalities.org/convention/past.asp> here.
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).
We look forward to seeing you there!
The Convention organizing committee:
Dominique Arel, ASN President
Gordon N. Bardos, Executive Director
David Crowe, ASN Chair of Advisory Board
Sherrill Stroschein, Program Chair
