The goal of the annual Workshop on Central Asian Studies (established in
1996) was to offer an opportunity for scholars, institutions, and
organizations interested in the Central Asian field to meet annually to
discuss how we research, teach, and coordinate efforts in the Central Asian
field. One result of this series of annual meetings was an effort during
the fourth annual workshop in 1999 to establish a new scholarly society
known as the Central Eurasian Studies Society. This new society held its
first annual meeting in conjunction with the fifth annual workshop in 2000,
and held its first elections soon after. Information on the CESS follows.
THE CENTRAL EURASIAN STUDIES SOCIETY
The Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS) is a private, non-political,
non-profit, U.S.-based organization of scholars who are interested in the
study of Central Eurasia, and its history, languages, cultures, and modern
states and societies. We define the Central Eurasian region broadly to
include Turkic, Mongolian, Iranian, Caucasian, Tibetan and other peoples.
Geographically, Central Eurasia extends from of the Black Sea region, the
Crimea, and the Caucasus in the west, through the Middle Volga region,
Afghanistan, Central and Inner Asia, and on to and southeastern Siberia,
Mongolia and Tibet in the east.
The Central Eurasian Studies Society's purpose is to promote high standards
of research and teaching, and to foster communication among scholars through
meetings and publications. The Society works to facilitate interaction
among senior, established scholars, junior scholars, graduate students, and
unaffiliated scholars in North America and throughout the world. We hold an
Annual Conference, and coordinate panels at various conferences relevant to
Central Eurasian studies. The Society also works to promote the publication
of peer-reviewed scholarship and other information essential to the building
the field. As soon as practicable, we plan to begin publishing, twice
annually, a bulletin that focuses on research reports, book reviews,
information on the current state of the field worldwide, and related topics.
We invite anyone who shares these interests to become a member and
participate in our activities.
