CONVENTION THEME

The summer convention's theme is "Images of the Other" - construction and definition of the 'Other', instrumental use and abuse of the 'Other' in politics, cultural and social practices; the role of ethnic, cultural, social and gender stereotypes; representations of the 'Other' in memory politics, art, public discourse and media; and scholarship regarding the 'Other' as a social construct. ASEEES and MAG invite papers; and panel proposals, related to the theme, understood in the broadest possible sense. Note: Proposals on the theme are encouraged but not required.  See the call for proposals for more information.



LANGUAGE POLICY

The program committee encourages the use of the four working languages - of ASEEES (English) and MAG (Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, and English) - in order to celebrate and take best advantage of the diversity of languages in the region.
