4th Biennial Conference of the Association for Women in Slavic Studies
GENDER, CITIZENSHIP, AND EMPIRE
The Ohio State University
Columbus, Ohio
April 16-18, 2009
Call for Papers/Panels

In an increasingly globalized world, the meaning of citizenship has become ever more fluid. Post-socialist countries in particular have seen great transformations in the rights individuals claim and in the
obligations expected of them. The changing nature of citizenship in the post-Cold War world has also prompted those who look at the past to reconsider what it meant to be the subject (and sometimes citizen) of imperial lands (Russian, Soviet, Ottoman, or Habsburg) in Eastern Europe and Eurasia.

Gender is central to understanding definitions of citizenship and subjecthood during the imperial period(s) as well as to understanding the shifting definitions of citizenship in the post-Soviet period.
While issues of gender have been visible in the arts, they have yet to be fully explored by historians and social scientists. Thus the aim of the conference is to stimulate further investigation and discussion of the relationship between gender and the overarching structures and practices (political, social, economic, and cultural) of the empires and post-imperial states of this region.

AWSS invites scholars of all disciplines (Slavic/Eurasian/East European studies, including anthropology, art, film, history, library science, literature, music, political science, popular culture, sociology, and any aspect of women’s studies) who are working on themes related to gender, citizenship, and empire in Eastern Europe and Eurasia to submit their abstracts electronically to Professor Margaret Beissinger, Princeton University,

who will distribute them to a multi-disciplinary conference selection committee. All proposals are due January 15, 2009. Applicants will be notified about their participation in mid-February.

Proposals for panels/papers must include:
A 150-word abstract for each paper
A one-page c.v. for each participant

Proposals for workshops must include a brief description of the topic and, if possible, should attach a list of possible presenters/facilitators.

In 2009, the AWSS Conference will be held in conjunction with the annual conference of the Midwest Slavic Association on the campus of The Ohio State University.
