American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages
(AATSEEL)

AATSEEL Annual Meeting
New Orleans
27-30 December 2001

Call for Papers

I have proposed a panel on Czech and Slovak music (broadly framed so as to
allow for multiple possibilities and, maybe, multiple panels) at the
AATSEEL conference at New Orleans in December; I hope that there will be
sufficient interest among those with an interest in Czech/Slovak music,
particularly if papers can overlap with other disciplines, to raise the
profile of musicology among our Slavist colleagues.  (The panel proposal
is restricted to the Czech sphere not out of any sense of exclusiveness
but so that we fall under the aegis of the North American Association of
Teachers of Czech -- there is some advantage in this.)

Please submit any abstracts falling under this general rubric according to
the AATSEEL guidelines (these can be found at
http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~djb/aatseel/abstract_guidelines.html ).

They should be sent not to me but to the contact person for all panels
on Literature and Culture, who is:

        Professor Karen Evans-Romaine
        Department of Modern Languages
        Gordy Hall 283
        Ohio University
        Athens, OH 45701, USA
        Phone: +1-740-593-2791 (office), +1-740-593-2765 (department)
        Fax: +1-740-593-0729
        Email: [log in to unmask]

There is a system of double deadlines: abstracts can be submitted for the
first deadline, 15 April 2001, and can then if necessary be re-submitted
for the second (final) deadline of 1 August 2001. The system is that all
proposals that are accepted for the conference will be slotted in finally
regardless of the fate of the panel. The panel sessions consist of 3 or 4
papers with or without a respondent. The deadlines are summarized at
http://clover.slavic.pitt.edu/~djb/aatseel/deadlines.html .

Please do consider contributing to this!
