Title | 36th Annual 2004 American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies Convention, December 4-7 |
Body | From: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~aaass/ Pre-registration forms are now available for the 36th Annual 2004 AAASS Convention beginning Saturday, December 4 and ending on Tuesday, December 7th*. This years convention will be held in the heart of Boston at: Boston Marriott Copley Place 110 Huntington Avenue Boston, MA 02116 TEL: (617) 236-5800 FAX: (617) 236-5885 *Please Note: This Saturday thru Tuesday schedule is a one-time event due to room rates at the hotel. We felt that the benefit of cheaper rooms out- weighed the inconvenience this deviation may cause some of you. Were sorry if this complicates things for anyone. Future conventions are scheduled with a continuation of our typical schedule of Thursday thru Sunday. Please remember that in addition to registering, those participating on a panel or in a roundtable at the convention will also need to be a current member of the AAASS, unless they are in a non-related field or a non-US citizen. Our Mission: The American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS) is a nonprofit, nonpolitical, scholarly society which is the leading private organization dedicated to the advancement of knowledge about Russia, Central Eurasia, and Eastern and Central Europe. The study of Russia, the other states of the former Soviet Union, and Eastern and Central Europe has never been more important. This major area of the modern world, which includes almost a quarter of the globe's land surface and population, is undergoing major social, economic, and political upheavals. An understanding of the peoples, their history, languages, and culture, as well as of the transitional economics and politics of their countries, is essential for the formulation of sound international policies. It is also vital for an appreciation of the cultural richness and diversity of the area, and ultimately for a broader view of the human experience. The AAASS brings together those interested in the culture, history, and languages of the region's peoples, as well as in its economies and political systems, and gives coherence to a field that covers a multitude of academic disciplines and diverse interests. The Association articulates and addressees the concerns of the field as a whole and of its separate but interdependent sectors. Our Mission.
