This message has two purposes: To announce the publication of the new
issue of the Central Eurasian Studies Review - vol. 5, no. 2 (see the
letter below from CESR's Chief Editor, Marianne Kamp); and to announce
the move of the CESS Secretariat to its new home at Miami University
of Ohio's Havighurst Center.
This will be the last notice that you receive from CESS at its first
home, Harvard University's Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus.
I am happy to inform you that we are passing the baton to new and able
hands. My role -- always meant to be temporary -- as director of the
Secretariat following my two-year term as CESS's first president has
now ended. We have established a new position, which is filled on an
interim basis by Michael Rouland -- that of Executive Director of CESS.
My goal was to institutionalize CESS so that it can be solid and
enduring, and not dependent on or closely associated with any
individual(s), but rather to be a strong collective, with a strong
institutional base in place. I believe we have made great progress
toward that goal, and an important reflection of this is that we are
completing our first move -- as the Secretariat will now move on a
regular 5-year term basis.
I believe, thanks to everyone's efforts in building CESS, there is now
an international community of scholarship on this region which did not
exist in this way before, and I believe that we are making important
steps toward raising the quality of scholarship and scholarly
communications in this field.
I appreciate the interest and support that you have shown for this
undertaking. And I give my warm wishes to those who will be carrying
the initiative forward. We are very fortunate to have Laura Adams as
president and Michael Rouland as interim executive director. Most of
all, we are fortunate to have this vibrant community, based on shared
interests and concern for the region -- and you, as a part of it.
Sincerely,
John Schoeberlein
Director, Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus
