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 year’s 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. We’re
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.
