Dear All: Please distribute to your listserves:

The deadline to register for the Sixth Congress of the International
Association of Ukrainian Studies (IAUS) has been extended one month,
until February 20, 2005. Given recent political events in Ukraine, the
Organizing Committee of the 2005 IAUS Congress has decided to extend the
deadline for submitting paper, roundtable and panel proposals. Should
you have further questions, please contact the individuals -- Ms.
Howansky or Mr. Petrovskyi -- listed in the detailed announcement below.

THE SIXTH CONGRESS OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UKRAINIAN STUDIES

***Deadline for proposals: February 20, 2005***

DATE AND LOCATION:

The Sixth Congress of the International Association of Ukrainian Studies
(IAUS) is scheduled to take place from June 29 to July 1, 2005 at
Donetsk State University in Donetsk, Ukraine.

PROGRAM:

The work of the Congress will be organized in three formats:
1) sessions (panels) with a stated theme, 1 chair, 3-4 presenters
(presentations up to 15 minutes), and 1-2 discussants;
2) roundtables with a stated theme for discussion, 1 chair, and 3-4
discussants;
3) presentations of publications and research projects.

In addition to the customary fields, the Congress Organizing Committee
particularly encourages forming sessions around these thematic blocks:
1) history and culture of southern and eastern Ukraine;
2) regional and local problems of Donbas;
3) Ukrainian-Russian borderlands;
4) ethnic groups in southern and eastern Ukraine;
5) industrialization, urbanization and worker’s movements;
6) the history of science.

When putting together the program of the Congress, the Organizing
Committee will give preference to those applications which propose
ready-made panels, roundtables and presentations. Should a panel or
roundtable proposal be developed by individuals from outside of Ukraine,
the Organizing Committee asks that at least one participant from Ukraine
be included in it.

The working languages of the Congress will be Ukrainian, English,
German, Polish and Russian. If participants of panels or roundtables
have the intention to conduct work in another language, the Organizing
Committee must be notified in advance.
