JOURNAL/CFP- Central Eurasian Studies Review, Vol. 7, No. 2
Posted by: Virginia Martin <virginiamartin@tds.net>
Be an active participant in the scholarly exchange of ideas about
Central Eurasia and contribute to the next issue of the Central
Eurasian Studies Review!
CESR Volume 7, Number 2 will be published in Fall 2008.
Deadline for submissions is OCTOBER 1st.
Consider contributing to one of CESR's four sections:
Perspectives
In addition to our encouragement of submissions to the Perspectives
section as described on the CESR website,
http://www.cesr-cess.org/CESR_contribution.html#Perspectives, we would
like to inaugurate two additional approaches that will, we hope,
expand CESR as a vehicle for the dissemination of insightful thinking
and reflection on the myriad concerns, historical and current, to
scholars and students of our region of study. We invite submission of:
* Short essays of about 400-500 words—"jottings"—that present and
comment on data and other kinds of research materials in one of four
categories: (1) textual sources (a brief archival document, court
case, letter, metrical page, or poem); (2) an image or artifact
(photograph, sketch, graffito, or painting; bone, worked stone or
metal, or textile); (3) a chart or graph (of social, economic,
political, or other information); or (4) a map. Despite the differing
nature of these research materials, we assume that all are texts to be
read. We see these "jottings" as opportunities for scholars to offer
something especially interesting from their current research, as
examples of the various methods that we are increasingly bringing to
bear on the objects of our study, and as exemplars, for students as
prospective scholars, that show them ways to interrogate the obvious
and not so obvious resources that human cultures create for our
attention and analysis.
* The second solicitation is for what we might term a "musing." These
are to emerge in response to a question of broad relevance, or, in
this first instance, to the question posed in the current (Spring
2008) issue of CESR by Laura Adams: "Can we apply postcolonial theory
to Central Eurasia?" Musings may be up to 1,000 words in length.
* For both "jottings" and "musings." the "Perspectives" editor requests
that those desiring to contribute inform him of their intentions via
email (elazzeri@indana.edu) by June 15, 2008. By the same date, the
editor would like to hear from anyone wishing to contribute a longer
essay on a subject, method, or current research project relevant to the field.
Research Reports
CESR is eager to publish reports on your research about the Central
Eurasian region that reflect preliminary findings and conclusions,
application of new methodologies and theories, and experiences and/or
conditions of recent research in the field. CESR is particularly
interested in serving as a forum for the presentation of new research
results from your work in progress. Please consult the CESR website
for specific guidelines, and send submissions of 1,500-3,000 words in
length to section editor Jamilya Ukudeeva at jaukudee@cabrillo.edu.
Conferences and Lecture Series
The Conference and Lecture Series Section includes reports on
conferences, meetings, workshops, panels, and lectures on various
aspects of the study of Central Eurasia. Reporters are expected to
provide both descriptive and analytical accounts of these activities
by focusing on the general themes, topics, newly introduced debates,
and/or results of recent fieldwork. The main objective of this section
is to provide information about such activities to those scholars who
did not have a chance to attend the gathering. If you are interested
in contributing such a report, please contact section co-editors Pinar
Akcali, akcali@metu.edu.tr or Dan Schafer, schaferd@mail.belmont.edu.
Educational Resources and Developments
What challenges do educators, both within and outside Central Eurasia,
face in teaching about the region? The editors request submissions
that address this question while probing a range of issues.
Submissions might include: discussions of philosophies of education
and/or analyses of the politics of education (both within the Central
Eurasian region and within Central Eurasian Studies); discussions of
teaching methodology and reflections on its use in practice;
descriptions of specific courses (with links to their syllabi) and/or
experiences with curriculum development; discussion of new and ongoing
projects that extend the range of resources appropriate to any and all
levels of learners. See the CESR website for further information
about this section. Submissions may be sent to section editor Sarah
Amsler at S.Amsler@kingston.ac.uk.
Please consult the CESR website for guidelines for submissions at
http://www.cesr-cess.org/CESR_contribution.html.
