The Association for Women in Slavic Studies is opening its electronic discussion list to all interested members of the academic community. AWSS-L is a monitored list that acts as a clearing house for information concerning the study of gender and women's issues in all disciplines of Slavic area studies, including history, literature, the social sciences, and the arts. Postings include conference and publication announcements, discussions of current issues in the field, and the biweekly job, internship, and funding guides.
