final call for papers at AAASS

[William Nickell]

Dear Jeanmarie,

John Randolph and I are trying to put together a panel on 18th and  
19th cc Russian coachmen as purveyors of folk culture and are having  
trouble finding another panelist.  Would it make sense for us to  
answer your call?  If we do so, can we be assured that we will be  
placed on a panel?  (John teaches Russian History at Univ. of  
Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and I teach Russian literature at UC  
Santa Cruz.)  I am also interested in the phenomenon of  
commercialization of folk culture, and would be willing to  
participate in a panel devoted to that theme as a discussant or chair.
