Call for Papers

Twenty-first Annual Czech and Slovak Studies Workshop

April 29-30, 2022

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Twenty-first Annual Czech and Slovak Studies Workshop, which will be held at UNC-Chapel Hill on April 29-30, 20202, welcomes papers on Czech and Slovak topics, broadly defined, in all disciplines. In the past our interdisciplinary conference has drawn participants from colleges and universities in the United States and abroad. Areas of interest have been: anthropology, architecture, art, economics, education, film, geography, history, Jewish studies, literature, music, philosophy, politics, religion, society, sociology, and theater. Work in progress is appropriate for our workshop format. Junior faculty and advanced graduate students are particularly encouraged to participate.

This year’s program will also include an invited lecture by Pieter Judson of the European University Institute in Florence.

The deadline for submitting proposals is January 21, 2022. The steering committee will review the proposals the following week.

Applications should include:

Paper abstract of approximately 250 words that includes your name and a paper title

Curriculum vitae

Please also indicate whether or not you have attended a Czech and Slovak Studies Workshop in the past.

Application materials, as well as any questions, should be emailed Chad Bryant at bryantc@email.unc.edu with the subject heading “Czech and Slovak Studies Workshop.”

We look forward to your proposals.
