“Beyond the Borders”
The 10th. Joint Conference of Bulgarian and North American Scholars
Sofia, June 26-30, 2016
For more than forty years the tradition of Bulgarian-American academic dialogs has been carried on by the Council for Bulgarian Studies Abroad at the Bulgarian Academy of Science and the Bulgarian Studies Association. The first conference was in 1973 in Madison, WI, followed by conferences in Varna (1978), Boston (1982), Smoljan (1987), Pittsburgh (1994), Blagoevgrad (1999), Columbus, OH (2003), Varna (2008), and Eugene, OR (2012).
It is Sofia’s turn to host the 2016 Bulgarian-Northern American conference in the field of Bulgarian Studies.
