Call For  Papers: Third Conference of the  Southeast European Studies
Association (SEESA)

Following  on the  success  of the  first  (2002) and second (2005)
conferences of  the Southeast  European  Studies  Association
(SEESA), the  third SEESA conference will be held at  The Ohio State
University (Columbus, Ohio) on 26-28 April 2007.

The Organizing  Committee is now  accepting proposals for papers that
treat  some aspect  of the  Southeast European  region,
including the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria,
Romania, Albania, Greece,  and Turkey. All  disciplines are  welcome,
including but not restricted  to, anthropology,  cultural  studies,
education, film studies, folklore, history, language,  literature,
linguistics,  political science, and  sociology.  Papers
addressing   issues  that  cross   national  and disciplinary
boundaries are particularly welcome.  Papers will be  20 minutes in
length, with 10  minutes beyond that for questions and discussion.

One special feature of this year's SEESA Meeting is that the Tenth
Annual Kenneth E. Naylor Memorial Lecture will be a plenary event at
the conference, with Brian Joseph as the lecturer speaking on Balkan
linguistics.  In addition, in recognition of the special nature of
this anniversary for the lecture, two panels consisting of previous
Naylor lecturers (Victor Friedman, Ronelle Alexander, Wayles Browne,
Howard Aronson, Christina Kramer, Ilse Lehiste, Grace Fielder, and
Tom Priestly) will be convened to present papers on topics in South
Slavic and Balkan linguistics and to offer some remembrances of
Kenneth Naylor.

Potential presenters may submit paper proposals by sending a title
and a one-page abstract  of the  proposed  paper, together  with  the
author's name, address,  and   contact information (phone and e-
mail).  The deadline for  submitting all  proposals is  January 15,
2007.   The program will be  announced by February 20, 2007.

Please  address all  questions  to Professor Brian  Joseph (joseph.
1 at osu.edu) or Daniel Collins (collins.232 at osu.edu).  Titles,
abstracts, and  contact  information  may  be   sent  by email to
collins.232 at osu.edu, by fax to 614-688-3107,  or to the address below.
