We invite submissions relating to all aspects of humanities and social science scholarship across Central Eurasia - a diverse region that encompasses Central Asia, the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan, Xinjiang, Tibet, Mongolia, Siberia, the Black Sea region, and the Volga region. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with more than 200 scholars and practitioners from a wide range of fields and to contribute to the rich tapestry of Central Eurasian studies. The Joint Meeting will be preceded on Tuesday afternoon (January 7) by a symbolic event: join us in an interconfessional and ecumenical Ceremony for Peace, hosted by Lisbon Patriarchy (catholic) at the entrance of S. Domingos Church. To participate in this propitiatory event of Forgiveness, Tolerance and Good Will we are inviting representatives of all major religious communities of Eurasia - Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews ... The Welcome Dinner (offered by the organization of the Conference) will celebrate the Cuisines of Portuguese-speaking countries and territories: a buffet of food from Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Mozambique, ..., with vegetarian and also halal options (t.b.c.). Restaurant 'Malandro do Marquês', owned by a Russian couple and with an African 'chef' and Russian-speaking staff (Tuesday evening, January 7). The Joint Meeting will be hosted by the University of Lisbon (exact venue t.b.c.). It's one of the oldest European higher-learning institutions (created in the 13th century), and several Faculties are in the World's top-100 in their fields (NSU Rankings). During the Meeting, the coffee-breaks and two lunches (Thursday and Friday, t.b.c.) will be offered by the University and the Organization at the University canteens. Cultural program: - The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation will host a concert of soloists of its Orchestra on Wednesday evening (t.b.c.). - In the evenings, from January 6 to 11, at the Cinemateca (Film Archive), there will be a Film Festival dedicated to Central Asian cinematographies. - After the conference, on Saturday morning (January 11), the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and the Foundation's Contemporary Art Center will have free guided tours; and the participants can also enjoy at the Museu do Fado a performance of fado, a famous Portuguese music genre (added in 2011 to the 'UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List'). Practicalities: - We are negotiating with the Public Transportation Company a special 5-days pass for the participants (metro, bus and tram); - Weather in Lisbon: in January, expect temperatures ranging between +6ºC, or 42ºF (min.) and +16ºC, or 61ºF (max.). Rain: likely. Snow: last time was in 2006, before that in 1974... So, we invite you to mark your calendars and prepare to join us for an enriching experience that promises to deepen our understanding of Central Eurasia’s complex social, cultural, and historical landscapes. Stay tuned for more information on conference details (beginning of April).
