Conference in Ivanovo

[Irene Fardin]

Dear SEELANGers, 

I post this information on behalf of my colleagues from Ivanovo (Russia).
This conference can be of special interest for those scholars who now have
their sabbatical in Russia. 

The city is really close to Moscow and there is also a direct train from
St. Petersburg.

The announced theme of the conference is very broad.
It was not chosen by chance: alcoholism, as one of the most critical problems
of the cultural, public and economic life in Russia requires a deep
investigation. The goal of the conference is to unite the specialists in order
to exchange ideas, to work together in projects, to publish papers, to produce
some practical effective guidelines in the sphere of regulation of the alcohol
market and improvement of the situation with alcohol consumption in Russia. We
plan to organize the conference with this topic on an annual basis. The topics
of the future conferences will be discussed during the work of the sections and
round-table.
