CFP: CESS Annual Conference, Ohio State University, Sept.15-18, 2011


The Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS) invites panel and paper
proposals for the Twelfth Annual CESS Conference, September 15-18, 2011, in
Columbus, Ohio. The event will be held at Ohio State University, hosted by
the Center for Slavic and East European Studies, the Middle East Studies
Center and the East Asian Studies Center. Panels begin Friday morning,
September 16, and continue through mid-day on Sunday, September 18.

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, Xinjiang, 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.

The program will feature approximately 50 panels. There will also be a
supplementary program including a welcome reception on Thursday, a
conference dinner and a plenary speaker.

Deadline for submission of panel/paper proposals: Tuesday, March 1, 2011

Submissions of pre-organized panels are strongly encouraged and will be
given some preference in the selection process. In forming panels, consider
including scholars whose work is situated outside of Central Eurasia but who
can speak to the panel topic thematically or comparatively, especially in
discussant roles. For complete details, please see the complete Call for
Papers (http://www.units.muohio.edu/cess/CFP_2011.html) on the CESS website.
