Reminder re Macedonian Conference

[Brian Joseph]

Dear Slavicist colleagues:

Even though the originally announced July 15 date has passed for a
preliminary expression of interest in taking part in the 5th
Macedonian-North American Conference on Macedonian Studies at Ohio
State University next May (and a good many people have indeed
contacted me about the conference), I don't want any interested party
out there to be excluded, so please consider this an invitation to
make your interest known if you have not done so already.  It is not
too late to inform me of your interest and to send in an abstract for
our consideration!

The announcement for the conference sent out earlier is repeated below, with
the dates indicated.  So far there has been a good level of interest shown
by North American colleagues (and please note the broad definition of "North
American" here -- by birth, citizenship, or current affiliation) though we
hope for more.

My thanks in advance,

--Brian
