> CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> The European Society for Central Asian Studies (ESCAS) invites proposals
> for individual papers, panels and round-table discussions for the twelfth
> ESCAS biennial conference scheduled for 20--22 September 2011 at the
> University of Cambridge, UK. The Conference will be hosted by the
> Cambridge Central & Inner Asian Forum
> (http://www.cambridge-centralasia.org/)
> ESCAS welcomes proposals relating to all aspects of research in the arts,
> humanities and social sciences on Central Asia namely the republics of
> Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, together
> with Xinjiang, Mongolia, Afghanistan and adjacent regions of Russia, China
> and Iran.
>
> Scholars and practitioners of anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art
> & art history, cinema, development studies, economics & finance, history,
> musicology, philology, political science, sociology and other related
> disciplines are encouraged to participate. We particularly welcome
> proposals which will cross disciplinary boundaries, bringing together
> experts from different fields.
>
> The conference will offer an opportunity to reflect on how far the study
> of Central Asia has come in the twenty years since the break-up of the
> USSR which transformed our field, and to both celebrate and critique the
> research which has flowed from this.
>
> SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
>
> We encourage the submission of pre-organised panels and discussion groups,
> and these may be given some preference in the selection process. Each
> panel will have three speakers, who will have half an hour to deliver
> their papers, followed by half an hour of questions and general
> discussion. Panel proposals should include a clear theme and rationale for
> bringing the speakers together. They should not include a discussant, but
> may nominate a chair if desired. Round-table discussions should include
> five or six contributors plus a chair, and will last for an hour and a
> half. Individual papers will be assigned a panel by the conference
> organisers.
>
> TIMETABLE
>
> The website for the submission of proposals is www.escas.org, which will
> be live from 15th January 2011
>
> The deadline for proposals will be 15th March 2011.
>
> Notification of acceptance will be by the 30th April 2011.
>
> All conference attendees and delegates will be required to pay the
> registration fee by 15th August 2011
>
> Registration will begin at 10am on Tuesday 20th September 2011, with the
> first keynote speech at 11.30am. The Conference will include the General
> Assembly of ESCAS at lunchtime and a gala dinner and concert in the
> evening on Day 2 (21st September 2011), and a second keynote speech on Day
> 3 (22nd September 2011), when proceedings will end by 5.30pm.
> PUBLICATION ARRANGEMENTS

> faxed visa invitations by the host organisation, the Cambridge Central &
> Inner Asia Forum. The process will begin immediately upon acceptance of
> the proposed paper, panel or round-table.
> REGISTRATION INFORMATION
>
> The conference organisers are hoping to subsidise or pay in full the cost
> of participation for delegates from Central Asia, and also to find general
> subventions to reduce the conference fee required from other participants.

> currently stand as follows:
> 1 - Full fee: Three days attendance, all meals and three nights
> accommodation: GBP 400
>
> 2 - Day delegate fee: Three days attendance, lunch & dinner: GBP 210
>
> 3 - Single day fee: One days attendance, lunch & dinner: GBP 75
>
> ESCAS members will receive a GBP 50 discount on the first and second
> options.

> deadline for payment.
