[Elena_Baraban at UMANITOBA.CA]

Dear colleagues, 

The ANNUAL CONFERENCE of the CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SLAVISTS will take place 
in Saskatoon (Saskatchewan) on May 26-28, 2007 as part of the Congress of the 
Humanities and Social Sciences Federation. 

May 26-28, 2007 
(Saturday – Monday) 

The theme of the 2007 Congress is BRIDGING COMMUNITIES. 

The goals of the conference are to encourage the study of Slavic societies, 
cultures, languages, and literatures and to establish connections among 
scholars working in these areas. There will be parallel sections that will 
focus on literature, linguistics, film, folklore, history, music, sociology, 
religious studies, international relations, political science, and cultural 
studies. 

Proposals are invited for individual papers, panels, and roundtable 
discussions.  Proposals for complete panels are preferred. Please follow 
abstract specifications (see below) when submitting your proposal(s). 
We particularly want to encourage young scholars to participate in this 
conference. Deadline for proposals:  1 February, 2007. Notifications of the 
Organizing Committee’s decisions will be sent out by 1 March 2007. Audio- 
visual equipment will be provided upon request. The deadline for A-V equipment 
requests is 10 March, 2007. 

Each paper will be allowed thirty minutes (including 10 minutes for 
discussion). Presentations should be in English. All presenters must be 
members of CAS.
