ASEEES 2013: panels and roundtables on postsocialist neoliberalism and social movements

Wed Dec 12 17:17:44 UTC 2012

Dear SEELANGers,

At next year's conference in Boston (Nov. 21-24, 2013) there will be a stream of panels/ roundtables under the general rubric postsocialist neoliberalism and social movements. This is meant to be a continuation of this year's ASEEES panels on the topic, which in turn were an attempt to bring to North America a conversation that has been taking place among a group of East European academics in Budapest over the last two summer (http://countermovements.wordpress.com/conference/ and http://www.summer.ceu.hu/node/161). 

If you are interested in participating in whatever capacity, please, let me know. And be well,
Rossen
