Call for Postgraduate Posters – BASEES Annual Conference, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, 2012

Next year’s annual conference of the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies, held in Cambridge from Saturday 31st March – Monday 2nd April 2012, will offer postgraduate students in the humanities and the social sciences related to the former Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe the opportunity to present posters on their research project to an international audience of more than 300 scholars in the field. The poster will be displayed throughout the conference and can also be uploaded to the BASEES website afterwards. Don’t miss this chance to chat with scholars about your research in a friendly and informal atmosphere, get early feedback on your work, make helpful contacts and get tips on archival sources.
