| Title | Call for Papers: Graduate Student Pre-Conference in Turkish and Turkic Studies |
| Body | The American Association of Teachers of Turkic Languages (AATT) is pleased to announce the fourth annual Graduate Student Pre-Conference in Turkish and Turkic Studies. This Pre-Conference was established to mark the 20th anniversary of the founding of AATT. The fourth Pre-Conference is co-sponsored by the Institute for Turkish Studies and the Turkish Cultural Foundation. The fourth annual Pre-Conference will be co-hosted on Friday evening, November 21 and Saturday, November 22, by Georgetown University and the Institute of Turkish Studies. This year it will again be held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Middle East Studies Association to be held November 22-25, 2008 in Washington, DC. Pre-Conference participants are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the MESA conference. (Some meetings of the Pre-Conference are coordinated with the annual meeting of the Central Eurasian Studies Society.) The Pre-Conference is designed to encourage research making significant use of sources in Turkish and Turkic languages by graduate students in Turkish and Turkic Studies in North America. It will promote contact between students at various institutions and allow for feedback from faculty discussants participating in the pre-conference. Another goal is to help students progress towards more formal presentations at national conferences such as those of MESA, CESS, and organizations devoted to specific disciplines. AATT will award a limited number of travel awards to help subvent the cost of student participation. Students are also encouraged to seek funding from their home institutions. Students should submit a 250 word proposal for a paper together with the following information: 1. Name 2. Current institutional affiliation (department/university) 3. Adviser's name 4. Educational background (undergraduate and graduate degree programs) 5. Current status (taking courses, preparing for exams, researching dissertation, writing dissertation, defended/deposited dissertation) 6. Title of dissertation (if applicable) 7. Contact information (email, telephone number, preferred mailing address) The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday, August 29, 2008. Proposals should be submitted by email to: Professor Uli Schamiloglu Department of Languages and Cultures of Asia University of Wisconsin-Madison uschamil@wisc.edu OR Professor Erika H. Gilson Department of Near Eastern Studies Princeton University ehgilson@princeton.edu Applicants will be informed of the selection committee's decision by September 15, 2008. Schamiloglu, U.
