Slavic-related CFPs for MLA 2015 (deadline 3/15/2014; conference January 2015)

[Susan McReynolds]

May I bring one more panel to your attention:

*Allied Organization:** International Dostoevsky Society*
New approaches to Dostoevsky's novel welcome. How well do existing
socio-political, religious, biographical, and psychoanalytic readings serve
this text? Abstracts, maximum one page by 15 March 2014; Susan McReynolds (
susan.mcreynolds at gmail.com).
