Save the Date: ASEEES 3rd Biennial Summer Convention
Zagreb, Croatia * June 14-16, 2019 * https://www.aseees.org/summer-convention
The 2019 ASEEES Summer Convention theme is "Culture Wars," with a focus on the ways in which individuals or collectives create or construct diametrically opposed ways of understanding their societies and their place in the world.  As culture wars intensify across the globe we invite participants to scrutinize present or past narratives of difference or conflict, and/or negotiating practices within divided societies or across national boundaries. The Call for Proposals will be available in September 2018
