2004 Conference of the CAS

[Natalia Pylypiuk]

Dear Colleagues, Students and Friends,

I thank the many American colleagues and students who participated in
the most recent conference of the Canadian Association of Slavists
which was held in Halifax.

The 2004 Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and
Social Sciences will take place during the last week of May and early
June, in Winnipeg, at the University of Manitoba.  The Federation has
designated *Confluence: Ideas, Identity, Place* as its Congress theme.

Within this context, the conference of the Canadian Association of
Slavists has been scheduled for May 30, 31, and June 1.   In 2004 the
CAS will be celebrating its Fiftieth Anniversary. This fact, along
with the main theme of the Congress, ought to inspire many
interesting papers.

I invite you to begin planning panels for 2004.  The CAS encourages
interdisciplinary approaches. May I also suggest roundtables devoted
to the questions and problems facing Slavists in North America.

The Chair of the Programme Committee is Dr. Natalia Aponiuk (U of M)
<aponiuk at cc.UManitoba.CA>. Dr. Bohdan Harasymiw (U of Calgary),
<bharasym at ucalgary.ca> is Chair of the Fiftieth Anniversary Committee.
Kindly forward your suggestions (and queries) concerning the programme to them.

The formal CFP and deadline for submissions will be issued in early fall.

With best wishes,

Natalia Pylypiuk, President
Canadian Association of Slavists
