Call for Papers for the 32nd Annual Slavic Forum:

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at The University of Chicago 
is excited to announce our upcoming graduate student conference, the 32nd 
Annual Slavic Forum. This year’s conference will focus on comparative inquiries 
in Eastern European and Slavic cultures, in the spirit of comparative studies of 
history, literature, and linguistics. This year the conference will take place on 
May 11th-12th, 2012 and will consist of formal panels and a keynote lecture.

We invite abstracts for individual papers, 20 minutes in length, from Master’s or 
Ph.D. students in Slavic studies and related fields, including linguistics, 
literature, history, gender studies, art history, music, theater arts, film, as well as 
any other disciplines related to the topic of the conference. The Slavic Forum 
committee will organize panels following the acceptance of papers to the 
conference. Papers accepted to the 32nd Annual Slavic Forum will be published 
in an electronic collection of working papers from the conference. A style sheet 
will be distributed following the acceptance of papers to the conference and 
authors will be given a chance to revise their papers and include comments from 
the conference prior to publication.

The deadline for all abstract proposals is March 16th, 2012. Please send a brief 
abstract (300 words or less) and a short bio to slavicforum at gmail.com. 
Examples and references are not included in the word count. Please include your 
name and affiliation at the top of the abstract but not in the body, so that we 
may make them anonymous for refereeing and easily identify them afterwards. 
All abstracts will be refereed and participants will be notified by the end of 
March.

Please also note any equipment that might be needed for the presentation. The 
Slavic Forum committee will strive to meet all equipment needs, but cannot 
make any guarantees due to budget limits.
