SEESA (AASEES)

[Christina Kramer]

The South East European Studies Association (SEESA), formerly known as The
Association for Southeast European Studies (AASES) held its annual meeting
at the Washington, D.C. meeting of the AAASS.  This organization, together
with its journal Balkanistica, is being revived by scholars working in
inter-disciplinary studies in southeast Europe who felt the renewed
importance of an organization which was both trans-national and
inter-disciplinary in scope.  Membership dues for the organization will be
$20 for faculty, $15 for students.  Membershiop dues for 1995-96 guarantee
the first issue of Balkanistica free (volume 9) plus the second issue
(volume 10). Volume 9 of Balkanistica is planned for the summer of 1996.
This volume, the Golab Gedenkenschrift, contains articles on Balkan
language, literature and folklore and is edited by Profs. Victor Friedman
and Masha Belyavski-Frank.  If you are interested in membership send dues
to Prof. James Augerot, Treasurer of SEESA, Dept. of Slavic Languages,
University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195.  For information on
journal submissions, contact Prof. Donald Dyer, editor of Balkanistica,
Dept. of Modern Languages, The University of Mississippi, University, MS

In order to help publisize the reorganziation of SEESA, I would appreciate
it if this notice could be forwarded to relevant lists, e.g. lists on
regional area studies, history, etc.  Many thanks to all of you who have
helped renew this venue for regional studies. Christina Kramer, President
SEESA
