50h ASEEES Annual Convention Call for Proposals
December 6-9, 2018 * Boston, MA           Boston Marriott Copley Place
Convention Theme: Performance             www.aseees.org/convention<http://www.aseees.org/convention>
ASEEES members are invited to develop papers, panels, lightning round presentations, and roundtables for the association's 50th Annual Convention that explore the meanings of performance in and for the regions we study. Presentations that consider performance and performativity from an interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary perspective are especially welcome.
In addition to the organization's 50th Annual Convention, 2018 will mark 70 years since the founding of ASEEES as a scholarly society. This anniversary invites us to consider our past performance, as individual scholars and an organization devoted to Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies, as well as the roles we can and should perform in the future. Accordingly, proposals from all perspectives and historical periods are welcome, as are those that reflect on our scholarly responsibilities and offer performances of their own.
The deadline for ALL submissions is February 28, 2018. www.aseees.org/convention/cfp<http://www.aseees.org/convention/cfp>. With any inquiries about the convention, please contact Margaret Manges, the convention manager, at aseees.convention at pitt.edu<mailto:aseees.convention at pitt.edu>  If you need assistance logging into the ASEEES members site or are experiencing other technical difficulties, please contact aseees at pitt.edu<mailto:aseees at pitt.edu>

As we prepare for the March issue of NewsNet, please feel free to send us news of your professional development and book publications. Email news to newsnet at pitt.edu<mailto:newsnet at pitt.edu>.
