Call for Papers for the 33rd Annual Slavic Forum:
The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at The University of Chicago is excited to announce our upcoming graduate student conference, the 33rd Annual Slavic Forum. This year’s conference will focus on movement across time and space. This year the conference will take place on April 12th and 13th and will consist of formal panels and a keynote lecture by Dr. Olga Solovieva.
We invite abstracts for individual papers, 20 minutes in length, from Master’s or Ph.D. students in Slavic studies and related fields, including linguistics, literature, history, gender studies, art history, music, theater arts, film, as well as any other disciplines related to the topic of the conference. The Slavic Forum committee will organize panels following the acceptance of papers to the conference. Papers accepted to the 33rd Annual Slavic Forum will be published in an electronic collection of working papers from the conference. A style sheet will be distributed following the acceptance of papers to the conference and authors will be given a chance to revise their papers and include comments from the conference prior to publication.
The deadline for all abstract proposals is January 18th. Please send a brief abstract (250 words or less) and a short bio to slavicforum@gmail.com. Examples and references are not included in the word count. Please include your name and affiliation at the top of the abstract but not in the body, so that we may make them anonymous for refereeing and easily identify them afterwards. All abstracts will be refereed and participants will be notified by January 25th.
Please also note any equipment that might be needed for the presentation. The Slavic Forum committee will strive to meet all equipment needs, but cannot make any guarantees due to budget limits.
