 We are pleased to announce a collaboration between the Departments of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

 A joint meeting of the 33rd Annual Slavic Forum and the 4th Slavic Graduate Student Association Conference will take place at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on April 11-12, 2014.

 This year’s conference will feature (but not be limited to) interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian cultures. Our goal is to encourage dialogue and exchange between different fields.

 We invite abstracts for individual papers from graduate students in Slavic studies and related fields, including linguistics, literature, film, theater, music, history, political science, gender studies, Jewish-Russian and Holocaust Studies, anthropology, sociology, and art history.

 Please send your abstract as a Word Document attachment.
 Abstracts should be 300 words or less (references are not included in the word count).
 Include your name and affiliation at the top of the abstract in header, but not in the body, so that they may be anonymous for refereeing and easily identifiable afterwards.

 Provide a short biography
 Request equipment

 The deadline for all abstract proposals is February 1, 2014.
 Participants will be notified by March 1.

 We are trying to organize low-cost or free lodging for all, and we may be able to defray some travel expenses for participants from outside the local area.

 Each participant will give a 20-minute presentation (8-9 pages of text, double-spaced).

 The Slavic Forum committee will organize panels.

 Prof. Kristin Romberg of the School of Art and Design at UIUC will present a keynote talk. Topic TBA.
