CFP/PRECONF.- American Assoc. of Teachers of Turkic Languages, Seattle, Oct. 19
Posted by: Uli Schamiloglu <uschamil@wisc.edu>
Second Circular
The American Association of Teachers of Turkic Languages (AATT) is
pleased to announce the third annual "Graduate Student Pre-Conference
in Turkish and Turkic Studies". This conference was established to
mark the 20th anniversary of the founding of AATT. The third
Pre-Conference is co-sponsored by the Institute for Turkish Studies
and the Turkish Cultural Foundation.
The third annual Pre-Conference will meet on Thursday evening, October
18, and Friday morning, October 19. This year it will take the form of
a special panel held in conjunction with the 2007 meeting of the
Central Eurasian Studies Society to be held October 18-21, 2007 at the
University of Washington-Seattle. (Previous meetings were held prior
to the annual meeting of the Middle East Studies Association. We hope
to continue to meet in conjunction with both MESA and CESS on some
kind of alternating basis in the future.) Because of scheduling
issues, unfortunately the meeting will consist of fewer papers than in
previous years.
The Pre-Conference is designed to encourage research making
significant use of sources in Turkish and Turkic languages by graduate
students in Turkish and Turkic Studies in North America. It will
promote contact between students at various institutions and allow for
feedback from faculty discussants participating in the pre-conference.
Another goal is to help students progress towards more formal
presentations at national conferences such as those of MESA, CESS, and
organizations devoted to specific disciplines.
AATT will award a limited number of travel awards to help subvent the
cost of student participation. Students are also encouraged to seek
funding from their home institutions.
Students should submit a 250 word proposal for a paper together with
the following information:
1. Name
2. Current institutional affiliation (department/university)
3. Adviser's name
4. Educational background (undergraduate and graduate degree programs)
5. Current status (taking courses, preparing for exams, researching
dissertation, writing dissertation, defended/deposited dissertation)
6. Title of dissertation (if applicable)
7. Contact information (email, telephone number, preferred mailing
address)
The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday, August 31, 2007.
Proposals should be submitted by email to:
