AAASS 2010: Round table on Cultural Mobility

[Sasha Senderovich]

Dear Colleagues,

We are seeking a fourth participant at AAASS 2010 for a round table on
cultural mobility in the Russian imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet contexts.
We take as a launching point for discussion Stephen Greenblatt’s recent “A
Mobilities Studies Manifesto” (2010) and would like to explore the efficacy
of such a “manifesto” at this moment, and what Russian and Slavic Studies
might add to or take from current interest in mobility studies.  Individual
research interests of participants so far include Jewish mobility in the
Soviet Union, cultural traffic between the Habsburg and Romanov Empires, and
“travel guides” to the the prison labor camps. This round table will be
chaired by Professor John Randolph of the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.

If you are interested, please contact Anne Dwyer  (anne.dwyer at pomona.edu) or
Sasha Senderovich (senderov at fas.harvard.edu) within the next few days. The
deadline for round table proposals is January 15.
