SPECIAL EVENTS sponsored by the ASN Journal /Nationalities Papers
/
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 nationalism, ethnicity, ethnic conflict and national identity in
Central Europe, the Balkans, the former Soviet Union, the Caucasus, the
Turkic world, and Central Eurasia. Prospective applicants can get a sense
of the large thematic scope of ASN Convention papers by looking at the
2010 Final Program, which can be accessed at
http://nationalities.org/convention/pdfs/ASN_2010_Final_program-April.pdf.

The Convention also invites proposals devoted to comparative perspectives
on nationalism-related issues in other regions of the world, as well as
theoretical approaches that need not be grounded in any particular
geographic region. Disciplines represented include political science,
history,
anthropology, sociology, international studies, security studies, area
studies,
economics, geography and geopolitics, sociolinguistics, literature,
psychology,
and related fields. Papers presented at the Convention will be made
available
on CDs to participants, but not be posted on the ASN website.

Moreover, the Convention is inviting paper, panel, roundtable, or special
presentation proposals related to three special thematic sidebars:

* “History, Politics and Memory,” on the construction and contestation
of the memory of historical events in sites, political discourse and
historical research;

* “Ethnicity and Violence,”on the conditions, mechanism, construction,
implications and global perspective of violence perpetrated against
“ethnic” groups, in Osh and elsewhere;

*•“Debating Self-Determination after Kosovo”, in the wake of the
recent Advisory Opinion by the International Court of Justice.

/Nationalities Papers/, the ASN flagship journal, will hold the first
/Nationalities Debate/,a high profile discussion on the state of the art,
as well as a new edition of the roundtable “How To Get Your Article
Published”, one of the most attended panels at the ASN 2010 Convention.
The roundtable will include Ethnopolitics, the other ASN journal and the
ASN publishing house Taylor & Francis. /Nationalities Papers/ will also
sponsor the opening reception.

For several years, the ASN Convention has acknowledged excellence in
graduate studies research by offering Awards for Best Doctoral Student
Papers.
The winners at the 2010 Convention were Marlene Spoerri (Univ. of Amsterdam,
The Netherlands) for the Balkans, Cristian Cercel (Durham Univ, UK) for
Central
Europe, Nicole Eaton (UC Berkeley, US) and Michal Simecka (Univ of Oxford,
UK)
for Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus, and Mateusz Laszczkowski* *(Max Planck
Institute,
Germany) for Central Eurasia/Turkey. More details are available at
http://nationalities.org/convention/prize.asp. Doctoral student applicants
whose proposals are accepted for the 2011 Convention, who will not have
defended their dissertation by 1 November 2010, and whose papers are
delivered by the deadline, will automatically be considered for the awards.

The ASN Convention proudly inaugurated in 2010 the first annual ASN Harriman
Book Prize—the /Joseph Rothschild Prize in Nationalism and Ethnic Studies/.
The winner was Holly Case (Cornell U, US) for her monograph /Between States:
The Transylvanian Question and the European Idea during World War II/
(Stanford University Press, 2009). For information on how to have a book
considered for the 2011 Book Prize, please contact Dmitry Gorenburg at
asnbookprize at gmail.com.

The 2011 Convention is also inviting submissions for documentaries made
within the past few years and available in DVD format (either NTSC or PAL).
The documentaries selected for the convention will be screened during
regular
panel slots and, in several cases, will be followed by a discussion
moderated
by an academic expert. Films on the 2009 Program included /Russian Lessons/
(Norway/Russia, Georgia, 2009), /Absence of Will/ (Georgia, 2009), /La Shoah
par balles /(France, 2008), /Komi-Permyak Autumn/ (Estonia, 2009) and
/Questions nationales/ (Canada, 2009). The full 2010 film lineup can be
accessed at http://nationalities.org/convention/films_2010.asp. The
Convention
will also launch its first /ASN Audience Award for Best Documentary/. More
details will be available later.

/Proposal Information/
The 2011 Convention invites proposals for /individual papers/ or /panels/.
A panel includes a chair, three or four presentations based on written
papers,
and a discussant. The 2010 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.

/There is no application form to fill out in order to send proposals to the
convention, but a fact sheet is required/. The Fact Sheet can be downloaded
at
www.nationalities.org.

/Individual paper proposals/ must include four items:

*Contact information: the name, email, postal address and academic
affiliation
of the applicant

*A 300- to 500-word abstract (shorter abstracts will not be considered) with
the title of the paper

*A 100-word biographical statement, in narrative form (a paragraph). /CVs

*Contact information (see above)

*A 300- to 500-word abstract of the documentary

*A 100-word biographical statement (see above). /CVs will be rejected./

/Proposals for serve as a discussant/ must include four items:

*Contact information (see above)

*A 100-word statement about your areas of expertise

maximum of two attachments—the proposal itself (contact info, abstract,
bio statement) and the Fact Sheet. Proposals with more than two attachments
will not be considered. The proposals must be sent to darel at uottawa.ca AND
darelasn2011 at gmail.com.

The receipt of all proposals will be promptly acknowledged electronically,
with some delay during deadline week, due to the high volume of proposals.

Participants are responsible for covering all travel and accommodation
costs.
/Unfortunately,/ /ASN has no funding available for panelists/.

An international Program Committee will be entrusted with the selection of
proposals. Applicants will be notified by January 2011. Information
regarding
registration costs and other logistical questions will be communicated
afterwards.

advertisers and exhibitors are encouraged to place their order early. For
