science disciplines with an interest in Central Asia are encouraged to
participate.
New deadline for the submission of panel/paper proposals: March 15, 2009.
The proposals should be submitted by e-mail to: escas2009@yahoo.com
Submissions of pre-organized panels are strongly encouraged and will
be given some preference in the selection process. Individual papers
are also welcome and will be assigned by the program committee to an
appropriate panel with a chair and a discussant.
For individual papers and for each presenter on a regular panel please
make sure you provide us with:
1) Name;
2) Current institutional affiliation;
3) Title/position;
4) E-mail address;
5) Postal address;
6) Telephone/ fax;
7) Title of Paper;

9) Any audio-visual equipment requests (specify -- e.g., overhead
projector, slide projector, video player);
10) A brief (100 word) biographical statement that contains the
information which the panel chair may require for introductions, and
includes the presenter's educational background (highest academic
degree, year of its awarding, awarding institution, and field of study).
For panels:
Proposals may be submitted for panels with the presentation of 3-4
scholarly papers. Pre-organized panels should be thematically coherent
and may be organized/sponsored by a scholarly organization. Panels
must have three to four paper presenters, a chair, and a discussant
(ideally, the roles of chair and discussant will be filled by two
different people). In addition to the information for each of the
paper presenters on the panel (as indicated above), the following is
also required:
a) a title for the proposed panel;
b) and name, affiliation, and contact information of the panel
organizer, chair and discussant. Please make sure your panel is
complete before submitting this information; incomplete panels will be
given a lower ranking.
Please note the following policy: only complete panels with a full set
of panelists, including a chair and a discussant should be submitted.
If a panel or roundtable receives a high score from the reviewers but
does not include a full complement of panelists, the panel may be
wait-listed until it is complete.

possibility of presenting panels in Russian, French or German might be
considered.
