Journal Nationalities Papers

The ASN Convention, the most attended international and
inter-disciplinary scholarly gathering of its kind, welcomes proposals
on a wide range of topics related to nationalism, ethnicity, ethnic
conflict and national identity in Central Europe, the Balkans, the
former Soviet Union, and Central Eurasia (including Central Asia, the
Caucasus, Turkey, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Iraq).

Prospective applicants can get a sense of the large thematic scope of
ASN Convention papers by looking at the 2011 Final Program, which can
be accessed at

http://nationalities.org/convention/pdfs/ASN-2011-final-program-April.pdf

The Convention also invites proposals devoted to comparative
perspectives on nationalism-related issues in other regions of the
world, as well as theoretical approaches that need not be grounded in
any particular geographic region. Disciplines represented include
political science, history, anthropology, sociology, international
studies, security studies, geopolitics, area studies, economics,
geography, sociolinguistics, literature, psychology, and related
fields. Papers presented at the Convention will be made available for
$10 on a CD to Convention attendees, but will neither be posted on the
ASN website, nor be sold to Convention non-attendees.

The Convention is also inviting paper, panel, roundtable, or special
presentation proposals related to three special thematic sidebars:

* "History, Politics and Memory," on the construction and
contestation of the memory of historical events in sites, political
discourse and historical research;
* "Ethnicity and Violence," on the conditions, mechanism,
construction, implications and global perspective of violence
perpetrated against "ethnic" or culturally-defined groups;
* "Religion and Multiculturalism", on the social and political
challenges related to the integration of religious-defined "old" and
immigrant communities in modern societies.

Nationalities Papers, the ASN flagship journal, will hold the first
Nationalities Debate, a high profile discussion on the state of the
art, as well as a new edition of the roundtable "How To Get Your
Article Published", one of the most attended panels in the past two
conventions. Nationalities Papers will also sponsor the opening reception.

For several years, the ASN Convention has acknowledged excellence in
graduate studies research by offering Awards for Best Doctoral Student
Papers. The winners at the 2011 Convention were Ljubica Spaskovska (U
of Exeter, History, UK) for the Balkans, Christina Zuber (U of Köln,
International Studies, Germany) for Central Europe, Kitty Lam
(Michigan State U, History, US) for Russia/Ukraine/Caucasus, Leyla
Amzi-Erdogdular (Columbia U, History, US) for Central Eurasia/Turkey,
and Sarah Jenkins (U of Aberystwyth, International Politics, UK), for
Nationalism Studies. Doctoral student applicants whose proposals are
accepted for the 2012 Convention, who will not have defended their
dissertation by 1 November 2011, and whose papers are delivered by the
deadline, will automatically be considered for the awards.

The ASN Convention inaugurated in 2010 an annual ASN Harriman Book
Prize - the Joseph Rothschild Prize in Nationalism and Ethnic Studies.
The winner at the 2011 Convention was Carter Vaughn Findley for his
monograph Turkey, Islam, Nationalism, and Modernity (Yale University
Press, 2011). For information on how to have a book considered for the
2012 Book Prize, please contact Dmitry Gorenburg at
asnbookprize@gmail.com, or go to
http://www.nationalities.org/convention/rothschild.asp.

The 2012 Convention is also inviting submissions for documentaries
made within the past few years and available in DVD format (either
NTSC or PAL). The documentaries selected for the Convention will be
screened during regular panel slots and, in several cases, will be
followed by a discussion moderated by an academic expert. Films on the
2011 Program included Aghet - Ein Völkermord (Germany, 2010), Facing
Genocide: Khieu Samphan and Pol Pot (Sweden, 2010), The Green Wave
(Germany, 2010), Three Stories of Galicia (US, 2010), and Vlast (US,
2010). The full 2011 film lineup can be accessed at
http://nationalities.org/convention/pdfs/ASN-2011-Film-LineUp.pdf The
Convention will also inaugurate an ASN Audience Award for Best
Documentary. More details will be available later.

Proposal Information

The 2012 Convention invites proposals for individual papers or panels.
A panel includes a chair, three or four presentations based on written
papers, and a discussant. The Convention is also welcoming offers to
serve as discussant on a panel to be created by the Program Committee
from individual paper proposals. The application to be considered as
discussant can be self-standing, or accompanied by an individual paper
proposal.

There is no application form to fill out in order to send proposals to
the Convention, but the three mandatory items indicated below (contact
information, abstract, biographical statement) must be included in a
single Word document (PDF documents will be accepted only if they are
single-spaced). In addition, a Fact Sheet -- downloaded from
www.nationalities.org -- is required.

A formal application email must thus include the attached Word
document detailed above (contact info, abstract, bio), as well as the
Fact Sheet (or multiple Fact Sheets in the case of panel proposals,
i.e., one per panel member). Incomplete applications may not be
processed. Applications for papers and for panels should be submitted
in a single message. With the extremely high volume of correspondence,
the Convention cannot process applications contained in several
fragmentary messages.

Individual paper proposals must include four items:
* Contact information: the name, email, postal address and academic
affiliation of the applicant
* A 300- to 500-word abstract (shorter abstracts will not be
considered) with the title of the paper
* A 100-word biographical statement, in narrative form (one
paragraph). CVs will be rejected.
Individual proposals featuring more than one author (joint
proposal) must include the contact information and biographical
statement of all authors and specify whether all co-authors intend to
attend the Convention.
* A Fact Sheet, to be downloaded at www.nationalities.org. (In the
case of co-authors, only those intending to attend the Convention must
send a Fact Sheet).

Panel proposals must include four items:
* Contact information (see above) of all proposed panelists.
* The title of the panel and a 200- to 300-word abstract of each paper.
* A 100-word biographical statement (see above) for each proposed
panelist. CVs will be rejected
* A Fact Sheet for each panelist.

Proposals can also be sent for roundtables (with presentations not
based on written papers) and book panels. The same four elements apply.

Proposals for documentaries must include four items:
* Contact information (see above)
* A 300- to 500-word abstract of the documentary
* A 100-word biographical statement (see above). CVs will be rejected.
* A Fact Sheet

Proposals for a roundtable following the screening of a film are most
welcome. In these cases, the requirements of a panel proposal apply,
in addition to the 300- to 500-word abstract of the film.

Proposals to serve as a discussant must include four items:
* Contact information (see above)
* A 100-word statement about your areas of expertise
* A 100-word biographical statement (see above). CVs will be rejected.
* A Fact Sheet (see above)

Proposals for applicants already included in an individual paper or
panel proposal need only include the 100-word statement on areas of expertise.

IMPORTANT: As indicated above, all proposals must be sent in a single
email message, with an attached proposal (contact info, abstract, bio
statement) and an attached Fact Sheet (or multiple Fact Sheets, in the
case of co-authors and/or panel proposals). Proposals including
contact information, the abstract and the bio statement in separate
attachments will not be considered. The proposals must be sent to
darel@uottawa.ca AND darelasn2012@gmail.com.

The receipt of all proposals will be promptly acknowledged
electronically, with some delay during deadline week, due to the high
volume of proposals.

Participants are responsible for covering all travel and accommodation
costs. Unfortunately, ASN has no funding available for panelists.

An international Program Committee will be entrusted with the
selection of proposals. Applicants will be notified by January 2012.
Information regarding registration costs and other logistical
questions will be communicated afterwards.

The full list of panels from last year's convention can be accessed at
http://nationalities.org/convention/pdfs/ASN-2011-final-program-April.pdf

The programs from past conventions, going back to 2001, are also
online at http://nationalities.org/convention/past.asp

Several dozen publishers and companies have had exhibits and/or
advertised in the Convention Program in past years. Due to
considerations of space, advertisers and exhibitors are encouraged to
place their order early. For information, please contact Convention
Executive Director Gordon N. Bardos (gnb12@columbia.edu).
