Mid-Atlantic Slavic Conference, 2008

[Sibelan E S Forrester]

Passing along this invitation from Dr. Mary Theis.  -- SF

Dear Colleagues:

I am writing to invite you to submit a proposal for an individual 
paper or for a complete panel for the Thirty-first Annual Meeting of 
the Mid-Atlantic Slavic Conference, a regional conference of the 
AAASS. Proposals should include the paper's title, a very brief 
abstract, any request for technical support, the surface and email 
address of the presenter as well as their institutional affiliation. 
Room assignments for the panels are based in part on knowing your 
needs for technical support when the Executive Board meets in 
mid-January. The Conference will be held at New York University in 
New York City on Saturday, March 29, 2008. Panels and papers are 
welcome on any appropriate scholarly aspect of Slavic and East 
European Studies. The President of our Conference this year is 
Professor Anne Lounsbery. Her email address is 
<mailto:anne.lounsbery at nyu.edu_><anne.lounsbery at nyu.edu>.

Please send your proposals by December 14, 2007 to me at 
<theis at kutztown.edu> and/or in hard copy. Mail the hard copy to Dr. 
Mary Theis, MASC Executive Secretary, Department of Modern Language 
Studies, Kutztown University, PO Box 730, Kutztown, PA 19530. My home 
address (503 Friendship Drive, Fleetwood, PA 19522) should be used 
for mailing the hard copy after that date, but I need to have all 
proposals at least by December 14th. (My new home email is 
<marytheis at mac.com> in case of emergencies.)

We would like to remind you and your graduate students that their 
participation as well as yours is encouraged. A juried award of $200 
is made annually for the best graduate paper. Of course, the paper 
must be presented at our MASC to be considered and will differ 
somewhat from the written paper. The winning paper is then entered in 
the national AAASS competition, where the rewards are more 
significant. A second place prize of $175 is also awarded.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing each of you at the 
conference.

Sincerely yours,
Mary E. Theis
Executive Secretary, MASC
