The 23rd Annual Workshop on Women in Slavic Culture and Literature will be held
in conjunction with the 2004 Summer Research Laboratory at the University of
Illinois Champaign-Urbana from 28 June-2 July (Mon.-Fri.), 8:30 a.m. - 10:30
a.m.
As the name implies, the Workshop is a congenial and supportive forum for the
discussion of works-in-progress. The group is an interdisciplinary one and
welcomes presentations from all fields, including literature, fine arts, film
studies, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, political science,
economics, and others. This year the workshop organizers request that
participants submit their presentations (or robust drafts thereof) in advance to
facilitate group discussion; each participant will make a 10-15-minute
presentation, followed by a half-hour of discussion.
We would also like to encourage participants from (as well as participation in!)
in the first annual AWSS conference, which will take place just before the
Workshop on June 25-26.
Participants are encouraged to apply to the Summer Research Lab for free
university housing, which may be extended beyond the Workshop dates. (For
further information on housing allowances and the Summer Research Lab, see:
www.reec.uiuc.edu/srl.htm.)
Participants will have afternoons free to conduct research in the largest Slavic
library west of Washington, D.C. Please submit paper proposals of no more than
500 words and a c.v. to: Dr. Erin Collopy, Coordinator, "23rd Annual Workshop on

The Center for Democracy and Reconciliation in Southeastern Europe (CDRSEE) is
convening a workshop to present, compare and discuss new doctoral research
relevant to the history of Southeastern Europe. The CDRSEE are seeking to bring
together younger scholars who have undertaken the primary research for their
doctoral dissertations or who have completed their dissertations within the
recent past (typically 3-4 years). In addition to dissertations from History
Departments, those that deal primarily with the history of any part of the
region but are being done or completed in departments other than History are
also welcome. Scholars from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria,
Croatia, FY Republic of Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia & Montenegro are invited
to apply. A limited number of spaces are also available for students who
originate from other countries but who are working on Balkan issues. The 15
selected will be notified by March 27 and asked to submit a 5-page summary of
their dissertations' findings, methods and sources to the Center by April 19. At
the workshop, selectees will be asked to make a 15-20 minute oral presentation
on their work, as well as a 10-minute discussion on somebody else's
pre-circulated presentation to others selected, and to 6 senior historians drawn
from the Center's international Board of Eminent Scholars. The majority of the
workshop's time will however be devoted to a joint discussion of papers and
presentations. Applications should reach the CDRSEE by the deadline of 20
February 2004. All applications, papers, presentations and discussions will be
in English. Applications should consist of the following: § A short CV of
three pages maximum § A one or two page description of your dissertation and its
main theses. § An e-mail or other address for March 27 notification
Applications should be submitted by e-mail to
info@cdsee.org . The travel and accommodation, together with a small
honorarium, will be covered by the organisers. The list of senior scholars
attending will be available to selectees by April. This project is supported
by generous funding from USAID. The Center for Democracy and Reconciliation in
Southeast Europe (CDRSEE) is a non-governmental organisation incorporated in the
Netherlands and based in Thessaloniki, Greece.
The CDRSEE seeks to foster democratic and pluralist societies and to encourage
cross-border cooperation and reconciliation between peoples of the region. The
workshop is a part of the History and History Teaching Project of the Stability
Pact for Southeastern Europe, and is an annual event. For further information,
