Call for Papers
"The Sovietization of the Baltic States. 1940-56"
International Workshop
9 - 11 May 2003
Haapsalu, Estonia
After the occupation and annexation of the Baltic States in 1940 there
started a long lasting process of sovietization until the regaining of
independence in 1991. The goal of the workshop is to bring together scholars
from the Baltic States, the West and Russia to discuss different aspects of
the sovietization.
The papers will be published later.
Languages of the workshop are English and German.
Five sessions are planned:
- Politics
- Terror and Repression
- Economics
- Culture and Education
- Everyday-Life
The presentation of each paper should not extend beyond 20 minutes. The
papers are discussed after presentation and at the end of each session will
follow a broader discussion of the theme.
We are able to offer participants free board and accomodation and cover part
of the travel expenses.
The location of the workshop is the Rannarootsi Muuseum in Haapsalu, the
medieval site of a bishopric and a 19th century spa on the Baltic Sea, 90
minutes by bus from the Estonian capital Tallinn.
The workshop is supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, Stuttgart.
Please send your proposal for a paper (250-300 words) and a short CV no
later than 1 February 2003, by e-mail, to the local organizer Dr. Olaf
Mertelsmann ([log in to unmask]).
