Dear Colleagues and Students,

  The annual conference of the Canadian Association of Slavists has been
  scheduled for May 30 - 31 and June 1. We invite you to submit proposals
  devoted to the above themes and also to the wide range of disciplines subsumed
  under Slavic Studies (e.g., Anthropology, the Arts, History,
  Language, Linguistics, Literature, Music, Political Science, the Study of
  Religion, Sociology, etc.).

  Panels and Papers must be submitted on a formal Proposal Form which
  will be available in four formats:

  of *Canadian Slavonic Papers* <http://www.ualberta.ca/~csp>;
  (2) E-mail, which will be e-mailed to all CAS members in good standing
  who have an  e-mail address;
  (3) PDF, a downloadable file, which you can print, fill out, and send
  via snail mail; it will be available at the *Canadian Slavonic
Papers* site; and

Newsletter.

Electronic submissions are preferred.

We encourage you to submit, whenever possible, complete panel proposals.

to all members of CAS in January 2004.  Please check to ensure that
  your name appears on the membership list on the *Canadian Slavonic
Papers* site at <http://www.ualberta.ca/~csp>  and to inform Dr. Bohdan Nebesio
<CSP at ualberta.ca> immediately concerning any address changes.

Slavists who are not members are very welcome to join CAS.

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 for the Humanities and Social Sciences lends to CAS.

The *Congress Registration Guide* will inform you about
registration procedures (by mail, fax, WWW or in person), hotel and
dormitory accommodation, and method of payment. The deadline for
early registration will be announced in January.  For information
