The Eighth Annual Czech Workshop, which will be held at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign on March 30 – April 1, 2007, welcomes papers on Czech topics, broadly defined, in all disciplines—-Slovak topics will also be considered. In the past our interdisciplinary conference has drawn participants from colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. Areas of interest have been: anthropology, architecture, art, economics, education, film, geography, history, Jewish studies, literature, music, philosophy, politics, religion, society, and theater. Topics that relate to the conference theme, “Czechs in the New and Old Europe: New Approaches,” are especially welcome, but panels will not be restricted to this theme. Work in progress is appropriate for our workshop format, and junior faculty and advanced graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate.
We also invite suggestions for possible roundtables.
