2007 Annual Conference - Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS)

Recommendations

Info

Dear colleagues and guests: On behalf of the Conference Committee of the Central Eurasian Studies Society and the University of Washington, we would like to welcome you to the eighth annual conference of the Central Eurasian Studies Society. This event is a bright spot in the year for many of us, an opportunity to get together with old friends, to exchange ideas with our colleagues, and to see all of the exciting new research being done in our field. We hope that you find the conference stimulating and that you take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to strengthen the ties across the disciplines and regions that make up our diverse and dynamic society. This year has been a very exciting one for the organization with a move to a new Secretariat at the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies at Miami University, and the hiring of a new Executive Director, Dr. Daniel Prior. Dan is eager to hear your ideas about future directions for the organization, so please introduce yourselves to him and share with him any suggestions you have about how CESS can better fulfill its mission to promote research and teaching about Central Eurasia. This conference would not have been possible without the hard work of numerous volunteers from CESS and the University of Washington. The staff of the Ellison Center, especially Allison Dvaladze, have really given this conference the time and attention it deserves and we are very grateful for that. CESS could not function without the dedication of its volunteers, and we invite anyone who is interested in helping to organize next year’s conference to contact us. We also want to let you know that next year’s conference will be hosted by Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The call for papers will go out later this year, but please start talking with your colleagues now about panels you might want to propose. The host for the 2009 conference will be the University of Toronto, and we hope to see you there, as well. The University of Washington has long had a special connection to the Central Eurasian region through its language programs and activities related to Seattle’s sister city relationship with Tashkent. One of the luminaries of this long history of cultural exchange, Mark Weil, director of Tashkent’s Ilkhom Theater, was killed in September, and it is to his memory that we dedicate this year’s conference.
