SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

January 15, 1997

Deadline for Abstracts: FEBRUARY 1, 1997

To Professors and Graduate Students:

The University of Chicago Graduate Student Conference
on Slavic Literatures

The University of Chicago Slavic Forum, a graduate student organization,
will hold its annual Graduate Student Literature Conference on Friday,
April 25, 1997.  We are inviting participation from students both in and
beyond the Midwest, and would like to urge faculty to encourage graduate
students who are doing good work in Russian, Polish, Czech, or any other
Slavic literature or in comparative studies involving these literatures to
submit an abstract for a twenty-minute paper.

Although panels will be constructed on the basis of topics received, this
year we are particularly interested in forming panels on Polish and Czech
literature.

Our conference is a good place for students to make their first scholarly
presentation and for seasoned presenters to share their ongoing work.
Though our audiences are large (up to sixty people), discussion and
commentary take place in a spirit of friendly constructive criticism.

We are not able to pay for travel expenses to the University for our
participants, but we can provide them with free housing during their stay
here.

Interested students should send their abstracts to the Slavic Forum, my
attention, at the above address by FEBRUARY 1, 1997.  Abstracts and
requests for further information may also be sent via e-mail to the address
below.  Any questions can be directed to me or to the Department at (773)
702-8033.
