Women in Slavic Culture and Literature

A discussion group to be held in conjunction with the 2003 Summer Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana.

June 23-28 (Mon.-Sat.), 8:30 A.M. – 10:30 A.M.

We welcome papers (or work-in-progress reports) on topics related to Slavic women. The meeting is interdisciplinary; we encourage presentations from all fields: literature, fine arts, media, communications, sociology, psychology, history, political science, economics, and others. Translation projects are fine, too.

This year, we are asking presenters to assign readings to participants as good preparation for discussion. The reading could be a copy of the paper to be presented or secondary source material: an article, chapter, excerpted passages, website, film, or other material. Presenters should submit the reading material in advance (no later than June 1) as a web link, email attachment, or bibliographical citation.

If you wish to join us as a presenter, please submit a brief description of your topic and credentials. If you wish to join the discussion without presenting a paper, please notify us so that we may add your name to the mailing list.
