CALL FOR PAPERS
TWELFTH ANNUAL CZECH STUDIES WORKSHOP
at Columbia University, New York

The Twelfth Annual Czech Studies Workshop, which will be held at Columbia University on April 29-30, 2011, welcomes proposals for papers on Czech topics, broadly defined, in all disciplines. Slovak topics will also be considered.

Areas of interest have included: anthropology, architecture, art, economics, education, film, geography, history, Jewish studies, literature, music, philosophy, politics, religion, society, and theater. Work in progress is appropriate for our workshop format, and junior faculty and advanced graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate.

Limited funding is available to reimburse participants’ travel and accommodation costs.
