Second Call for Papers

The Slavic and East European Folklore Association (an AAASS affiliate) will organize panels on the following topics for the 2006 AAASS conference in Washington, D.C. from Nov. 16-19. This year we had successful panels featuring historians, sociologists, folklorists and theatre specialists, and we hope to continue such profitable exchanges across disciplines. Specialists of any discipline in the countries of the former Soviet Union, Central and Eastern Europe (including Hungary, Albania and Romania) are encouraged to submit papers on the following topics:

Folk Religion
Slavic Folk Practices in the Americas
Gender and Folk Culture
The Oral Interview across Disciplines (roundtable--we hope to have
representatives from various disciplines, including history,
anthropology, folklore, sociology, etc.).

Please e-mail a title, brief abstract and completed AAASS c.v. form (available on the AAASS web site) to Jeanmarie Rouhier-Willoughby (SEEFA secretary-treasurer) at jrouhie _at_ uky.edu by January 7.
