Last Call: SEEFA Folklore Panels for ASEEES 2012

Mon Jan 2 17:39:15 UTC 2012

The Slavic and East European Folklore Association [SEEFA], an ASEEES affiliate, issues an annual call for papers for the ASEEES Conference, to be held in New Orleans, November 15-18, 2012.

Participation on SEEFA panels does not require SEEFA membership. We welcome participation from specialists in other fields of study, such as literature, anthropology, and history.

We are calling for proposals related to the 2012 theme of “Boundary, Barrier, and Border Crossing.”  Submissions may broadly address liminality, boundary crossing, genre, ritual, identity, or, for that matter, any other topic of interest to the profile of SEEFA.  We hope to organize a series of related panels, depending on the number of submissions.

If you would like to submit a proposal, please:

- update your ASEEES c.v. form (available online at http://www.aseees.org/);
- send a title and a 250-word abstract of your proposed paper by January 9 to Maria Carlson at:  mcarlson at ku.edu<mailto:mcarlson at ku.edu>

If you are interested in chairing or being a discussant for one of these panels, please also let me know before January 9.

International scholars need not be a member of ASEEES to present at the annual conference.
