Here's some information on a fieldwork opportunity in Belarus that may be
of interest to SEELANGS subscribers:

The faculty of the School of Belarusian Philology at Hrodna/Grodno State
University in Hrodna/Grodno, Belarus, invite American students and faculty
who want to get hands-on experience doing Slavic
dialectological/ethnographic fieldwork to join them on their annual summer
expedition, scheduled for July, 1997. This year, students and faculty from
Hrodna University will be working in the scenic Navahrudak region in west
central Belarus, site of the first capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania
and birthplace of the Polish national bard, Adam Mickiewicz (and also the
setting of his masterpiece, Pan Tadeusz). Expenses for room and board, as
well as travel within the country, will be minimal (approximately
$100-$150/mo). The School can provide invitations, which are still required
to obtain a Belarusian visa.

For more information, please contact me at (512) 471-3607 or (512) 339-1375
or by e-mail at: cfwoolhiser at mail.utexas.edu. Space is limited (they will
probably not be able to accomodate more than 5 additional people), so if
you are interested, please respond as soon as possible.
