Nebraska Symposium

[Miluse Saskova-Pierce]

Dear colleagues, I am turning to you with information about a Symposium we 
are organizing in Nebraska.  We would like to hear papers that demonstrate 
the value of cooperation between the Czech and Slovak Lands  and the 
Central US, past and present.  Would you help us to spread the call?   For 
more information, please, go to www.unl.edu/plains

For those interested, please submit an abstract of 150-200 words with a 
brief résumé in a Word document by NOVEMBER 1, 2009. We will entertain 
later submissions.  ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION is preferred. Use the Center’s 
e-mail address: < cgps at unl.edu > Please state the contact person, 
affiliation, address, telephone, and e-mail address in your submission and 
indicate in the subject line: 2010 Symposium: CZECH & SLOVAK AMERICANS. If 
sending by standard mail, please send two unfolded copies of the abstract 
and résumé/curriculum vita. All presenters must register for the symposium 
through the website or by mail. Persons whose proposals/abstracts are 
accepted will be expected to submit final papers at the conference. Great 
Plains Quarterly and Great Plains Research, the Center’s scholarly 
journals, have the first right to publish papers presented at the 
symposium. I am attaching a copy of the call for papers. Thank you for 
your help with our conference.
