Proposals are invited for panels and papers for the 2009 Annual Conference

We are particularly keen to receive proposals for complete panels but we are
also happy to receive paper proposals that the organising committee will try
to put together into panels. At its post-conference meeting the BASEES
committee established a conference organising group for 2009 with separate
panel streams on:
(i)culture/literature/media/gender studies; (ii)languages/linguistics;
(iii)politics/international relations; (iv)history; (v)economics/political
economy/industrial relations/regional policy; (vi)sociology/social
anthropology/geography/social policy.
Members of the organising group are:

Within the usual wide range of topics we would hope to cover, it is worth
noting that 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall
and associated socio political revolutions across central and eastern
Europe, and the high point of the perestroika reforms in the Soviet Union.
As such, we would welcome suggestions relating to a critical assessment,
evaluation and interpretation of these events in connection with the various
panel streams.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with the subject organisers with your
ideas on these and any other topics and to propose panels and papers using
the appropriate form, downloadable from the BASEES website.
To propose a panel or a paper you will need to fill in a proposal form,
available via the links shown on the BASEES website: www.basees.org.uk.
There are separate forms for panels and papers and each is in .rtf format.
You should download the appropriate form and fill it in electronically, and
send it electronically to the appropriate subject stream organiser AND to
the conference email address.
We are particularly keen to hear from postgraduate students. Postgraduate
members of BASEES who present papers are eligible to apply for financial
support towards their conference costs. All enquiries regarding membership
should be addressed to the membership secretary, Dr Jenny Mathers

greatly assist us if you can send us your views in the nearest future.
