MLA call for papers

[Lilya Kaganovsky]

Dear SEELANGers,

Just to add one more Slavic-themed MLA panel for next year's meeting in New
York:

Special session: "Russia and the Postcolonial State: To Open the Question."

The purpose of this panel is to consider how questions of postcolonialism
may be understood in the context of imperial Russia, the Soviet Union,
or post-Soviet Russia.

Abstract and vitae by 15 March to Lilya Kaganovsky (lilya at uiuc.edu).
