CFP- Slavic Review: Nature, Culture, and Power

Posted by: Slavic Review <slavic-review@ad.uiuc.edu>

Call for Papers (Slavic Review):
Nature, Culture, and Power in Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia

For a special issue of Slavic Review on environmental studies
Guest Editor: Zsuzsa Gille (Sociology, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign)

The relationship between environmental studies and east European,
Russian, and Eurasian area studies over the last half century is best
characterized as one of mutual ignorance. Recently, however, there has
been a renewed interest in nature, the science of ecology, and
environmentalism among scholars of eastern Europe, Russia, and
Eurasia. The scholarship is now ripe for mapping out existing research
agendas and exploring new directions, for evaluating the relevance of
various social theories and methodologies, and for analyzing the
academic politics of doing research and publishing in this field.

Slavic Review is calling for papers that contribute to the advancement
of environmental studies concerning eastern Europe, Russia, and
Eurasia. Empirical and analytical pieces are both welcome. We
encourage contributions from all disciplines and especially
interdisciplinary approaches and papers that discuss issues of
methodology and theory. If you have questions, please contact the
editor of Slavic Review, Mark Steinberg at slavrev@uiuc.edu or Zsuzsa
Gille at gille@uiuc.edu.

Please submit abstracts of one to two pages by June 1, 2007 to:
Slavic Review
University of Illinois
57 East Armory St.
Champaign, IL 61820
(or as an email attachment to slavrev@uiuc.edu)

The editors will decide by June 30, 2007 which proposals to accept for
full submissions of papers. Manuscripts of not more than 8000 words
excluding endnotes will be due December 1, 2007. Submitted papers must
conform to Slavic Review standards (see

www.slavicreview.uiuc.edu/info/manuscripts.html) and will be
peer-reviewed. The special issue is planned for the Winter 2008 issue.
