Call for Submissions: 13th International Postgraduate Conference on Central & Eastern Europe

The School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London presents its 13th International Postgraduate Conference on Central and Eastern Europe, with a focus on: Old Rules & New Traditions: Generational Divides in Central and Eastern Europe.

Generational divides with regard to rules and traditions are a recurring theme in the past and present of Central and Eastern Europe. The region has been subject to great turmoil and has undergone a multitude of changes and transformations over time. While some traditions have survived, others have been overhauled. Rules have been broken or adapted; yet each generation has also attempted to make their own rules and created new traditions.

These phenomena can be observed and analysed from a variety of perspectives: historical, cultural, political, economic, social, and beyond. [The hosts] look forward to submissions that are cross-cultural, cross-national, and multi-disciplinary. 

Topics can include but are not limited to the following areas:

• national identity and nation building;

• a clash of urban and rural ways of life;

• insiders and outsiders;

• economic or political reform;

• religiosity and secularism;

• modernisation.

[The hosts] are particularly interested in papers addressing the conference theme but also welcome other research dealing with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, South-East Europe and the former Soviet Union. We also encourage submissions that place these countries into an inter-regional comparative context.

The conference invites applications from postgraduate students and early career researchers from the Social Sciences and Humanities. 

Abstracts of up to 300 words and a CV with full contact information should be sent to postgradconference2014@gmail.com

The language of the conference is English. A selection of papers will appear in a separate conference publication. [The hosts] expect that there will be a limited number of bursaries available for travel expenses.

Deadline for submissions: 16 August 2013

The conference takes place 19-21 February 2014.
