Dear ASEEES Members:

Upcoming Webinars

"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, May 18, 2016 2:00-3:00 PM 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.
