EVENT SERIES- OASIES Open Meeting and Fall 2008 Events, Columbia University

Posted by: Gulnar Kendirbai <gk2020@columbia.edu>

Since its founding last year, the Organization for the Advancement of
Studies of Inner Eurasian Societies has hosted a broad range of events
to promote a better understanding of the complexities and problems
involving the flows of power and knowledge in the Inner Eurasian space.

Next week the Organization will celebrate its inauguration with an
open meeting for members and interested students and scholars to
discuss their interests in Inner Eurasia and how these interests mesh
with the future of OASIES. This meeting is the first in a series of
irregular meetings in which we will discuss working papers, view
films, and discuss issues relevant to Inner Eurasia. Wine and cheese
will be served.
