 CALL FOR PAPERS

Council for Bulgarian Studies Abroad, Bulgarian Academy of Science and Bulgarian Studies Association, USA invite your participation:

“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. The topic of this conference, “Beyond the Borders”, invites various perceptions of “borders” (disciplinary, historical, cultural, national, etc.) and their interpretation as liminal spaces of distancing, interaction and transformation.

To participate, please submit an abstract (150-300 words) and a short CV by April 15, 2016 to Dr. Catherine Rudin carudin1@wsc.edu and/or Dr. Vessela Warner (warnerv@uab.edu, (for the U.S.), and Dr. Ana Luleva analuleva@iefem.bas.bg and/or Dr. Анисава Милтенова amiltenova@gmail.com (for Bulgaria)
