2020 ASEEES Convention Will Be a Virtual Event
Due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ASEEES is cancelling the in-person 2020 Annual Convention in Washington DC and shifting to an all virtual format. Please read the July 15th announcement we sent to all convention participants: www.aseees.org/news-events/aseees-news-feed/aseees-2020-virtual-convention-announcement<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aseees.org%2Fnews-events%2Faseees-news-feed%2Faseees-2020-virtual-convention-announcement&data=02%7C01%7C%7C585a33f2228f41645ccd08d8299fbbef%7C9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7C1%7C0%7C637305113308145618&sdata=byAH1U3owp99mZ8mja4vglm9VdcZ8eOFDStU%2FCjyxqY%3D&reserved=0>  While we will certainly miss reuniting with colleagues and friends, we are fortunate to have the technological resources and time to coordinate a viable alternative to the on-site convention. We will post more information soon as the plans for the virtual convention are finalized.

ASEEES Zoom Discussion - "Fieldwork interruptus? Research in the Time of COVID"
Monday, July 20, 1:00-2:30 pm EDT
This event invites you to join a group of panelists - all social scientists with track records of in-person research in Russia - as they reflect on the ways their work has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has disrupted our projects in myriad ways, but COVID-era constraints intersect with existing challenges of in-person research in Russia, particularly on topics of political sensitivity. Panelists will reflect on the challenges of this moment, as well as the silver linings and offer any tips and insights they've learned along the way.
We see this event as a brainstorming session, so following brief presentations, we encourage the participants to contribute to a broader discussion about the political and ethical challenges of research in politically sensitive contexts, particularly during a pandemic. Come join us to share and connect! This session may be of particular interest to graduate students.

Calls for Abstracts: Slavic Review Forum on Race and Bias
Seeking to address current social and political upheaval around systemic racism and to engage with questions of race and bias in our profession, our field, and our research, Slavic Review will host a Critical Discussion Forum, to be published approximately in June 2021. Thus, we are inviting scholars in any phase of the profession to submit abstracts of up to 250 words on any aspect of race in the profession and or race as an object of study in Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. All disciplines are welcome.

Please send abstracts to the editor, Harriet Murav, at slavrev at illinois.edu<mailto:slavrev at illinois.edu> by August 15. The organizing committee of this Forum will ask up to 20 authors to develop their abstracts into 3000 word articles, not including footnotes, to be submitted by October 1, 2020.  The completed articles will be peer reviewed.
