Call for Papers, Canadian Association of Slavists, February 15 deadline

Tue Oct 19 17:09:54 UTC 1999

Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS):
27-29 May 1999, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB

Dear Colleagues and Students,

In the year 2000 the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities
will be held at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.  The annual
meeting of the Canadian Association of Slavists has been scheduled
for the 27, 28 and 29 of May.  As Programme Chair I invite all
Slavists to join us in Edmonton!

To facilitate the organization of panels, I have posted on the site
of *Canadian Slavonic Papers* (http://www.ualberta.ca/~csp) two
electronic proposal forms, one for Individual Papers and one for Panels.
I encourage you to submit whenever possible complete panel proposals.
A hard copy of the proposal forms will appear in the CAS Fall
Newsletter.  However, electronic submissions are preferable.

This year's programme will include brief synopses of all papers and a
fifty-word resume is required.  Kindly note that the deadline for
submission of proposals is February 15.  This will ensure the timely
preparation of a preliminary programme along with the reservation of
rooms and appropriate equipment. Many associations will be meeting on
May 27, 28 and 29.  Thus competition for space and equipment will be
keen.

To defray administrative costs of processing late submissions, a fee
of ten dollars--payable directly to the Canadian Association of
Slavists--will be charged for proposals that arrive after February
15. No proposals will be accepted after March 31.

The *Congress Registration Guide* will be mailed to all members of
the CAS in the beginning of January 2000.  I urge you to check
whether your name appears listed on the site of *Canadian Slavonic
Papers,* and to inform Dr. Gust Olson <gust.olson at ualberta.ca> by
October 25 concerning any address changes. Slavists who are not
members of CAS are very welcome to join the association. Only CAS
members can qualify for travel grant assistance.

All participants in the CAS meeting, be they presenters or members of
the audience, must register. (For purposes of registration at the
Congress, the Canadian Association of Slavists is no. 56.) The number
of registered participants determines the amount of support that the
Canadian Federation of the Social Sciences and Humanities lends to
CAS. The *Congress Registration Guide* will inform you about
registration procedures (by mail, fax, WWW or in person), hotel and
dormitory accommodations, and method of payment. The deadline for
early registration is March 31.

SPECIAL COLLOQUIA

Three international and interdisciplinary colloquia will be staged
over the eight-day duration of the Congress (May 24-31, 2000).

The topics of the colloquia are: (1) Globalization, Societies,
Culture. Contact: Dr. Vanaja Dhruvarajan, President, Canadian
Sociology and Anthropology Association
<dhruvarajan-v at s-h.uwinnipeg,ca>
  (2) The North (including the Circumpolar North). Contact: Dr. John
Tucker, President, Association for the Advancement of Scandinavian
Studies in Canada <jtucker at uvic.ca>
  (3) Law, Culture and Society. Contact: Dr. Tim Burton
<tim.burton at ualberta.ca>.
Associations like CAS may join other member associations to sponsor
events in conjunction with the colloquia.  These events must (a) have
clear pertinence across several disciplines in the humanities and
social sciences; (b) involve leading researchers in the relevant
areas; (c) have representation from scholars outside Canada; (d) have
some representation from sectors outside academe.  For more
information, please contact individuals named above.
