2022 IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL CONFERENCE, March 31-April 2, 2022
Call for Papers—Association for Women in Slavic Studies (AWSS)
IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
Gender, Power, Violence in the Slavic, Eastern European, and Eurasian Regions, March 31-April 2, 2022
The Association for Women in Slavic Studies welcomes paper proposals from scholars engaged in research on the role of gender in understanding acts of violence, including epistemological and discursive violence, and the power dynamics of gender in the Slavic, East European, and Eurasian regions. We seek paper submissions that will discuss the breadth of gender-based violence which may include examples from war, ethnic and racial conflicts, displacement, state policies, domestic and sexual abuse, trafficking, suppression of LGBTQ+ identities, and violence emanating from other contexts.
Scholars from all disciplines are welcome to submit proposals.
The conference is hosted by the Melikian Center for Russian, Eurasian and East European Studies, Arizona State University, Tempe AZ. The conference will begin in mid-afternoon on March 31 and end early afternoon on April 2.
The conference will be conducted as a hybrid event and will accept papers from participants who wish to attend virtually. The expectation is that virtual and in-person participants will be present for all paper sessions. Sessions will be available virtually to members of AWSS.
Early career scholars (graduate students and recent PhDs), contingent faculty, and independent scholars will be prioritized for limited travel funds which can be utilized for travel or lodging costs. The Melikian Center will cover the cost of all meals.
The deadline for the submission of proposals is Friday, January 14, 2022. Please send a one-page abstract (no more than 500 words) and one-page CVs to president.awss@gmail.com with the subject 2022 AWSS Proposal.
