ASEEES Distinguished Contributions to Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies Award Call for Nominations

Please submit your nomination by April 1: www.aseees.org/programs/aseees-prizes/distinguished-contributions-award<http://www.aseees.org/programs/aseees-prizes/distinguished-contributions-award>


ASEEES to host two webinars; registration now available

"Your Academic Job Search:  Drafting the Cover Letter"

Diane P. Koenker, Professor of History at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will discuss the key elements of an academic job application, the cover letter and the c.v.: what to include in each, and what to exclude; the standard elements and nomenclature of an academic c.v.; how search committees read application letters and supporting materials.

                Wed, Apr 20, 2-3PM EDT



"Getting Published in Slavic & Eurasian Studies: Do's and Don'ts of Academic Journal Publishing"

Increasingly, a completed or nearly completed dissertation is not enough to do well on the job market. Now search committees expect even first-time job candidates to have a publication record. Editors at various interdisciplinary journals that publish Slavic studies related scholarship, will discuss strategies for successful article publishing with a special focus on providing tools for young scholars.

              WED, MAY 18, 2-3PM EDT
