Russian, E. European & Eurasian Center: Title VIII Events

October 9–10, 2024 (on zoom)

In the past decade, countries and cultures in the Baltic Sea Region have been undergoing significant societal transformations. Through interdisciplinary scholarly discussions, the Slavic Reference Service and the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies invite graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scholars in all disciplines to discuss the theme of New Directions in Baltic Studies.

We invite proposals for individual papers, panels, and roundtables from all academic disciplines to explore new conceptual frameworks, emerging research areas, and historiography of the Baltic Sea region. Papers and presentations may be derived from any stage of the research process; the intention of the forum is to provide an open space for discussion and feedback.

Sub-themes of this iteration of the Research Forum include:

  • Youth
  • Environmental discourse
  • National narratives 
  • Social movements 
  • Identities

The forum will be held virtually on October 9–10, 2024. 

Zoom details will be shared the week of the event.

The Baltic Research Forum is made possible by funding from the Department of State’s Program for the Study of Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII). This forum is intended to provide a supportive and informal environment for researchers, information professionals, and students to discuss future, ongoing, or completed scholarly projects.
