Call for Panellists: BASEES 2020 - Diversity and Inclusion in Knowledge Production

What do we mean by diversity and inclusion within the context of Central Asian, Russian and Eastern European Studies (CAREES) publishing? How can we encourage and ensure inclusivity within research outputs in our field? What barriers need to be deconstructed in order to represent diverse voices? These are the guiding questions behind an upcoming roundtable event at the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) Annual Conference in Cambridge, UK, from 3rd-5th April 2020.

ASEEES panel on Russian diaspora

I am hoping to organize (or join!) an ASEEES panel on topics relating to Russian diasporas. I am currently writing a paper on Russian tourists and asylum seekers in Guam since 1992. While my interest is in post-Soviet diapsoras, the panel I'm imagining would potentially cover diasporic communities from the late empire to today. I can be reached at rasmussenc@triton.uog.edu. My name is Chris Rasmussen.

Jonathan Waterlow, It's Only a Joke, Comrade! Humour, Trust and Everyday Life under Stalin. 

Description:

In the shadow of the Gulag, Soviet citizens were still cracking jokes. They had to.
