CENTRAL ASIA WORKING GROUP- Fall 2005 Organizational Meeting

by daviscalendar-list＠lists.fas.harvard.edu

CENTRAL ASIA WORKING GROUP- Fall 2005 Organizational Meeting, Sept. 27 The Organizational Meeting of the Central Asia & Caucasus Working Group will be held on: Tuesday, September 27, 4:15-6:00 pm in Room S-354 at 1730 Cambridge St., 3rd Floor, Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies This will be a time for introductions of new people -- all interested people are encouraged to join. About the Working Group The Working Group on "Society, Politics and Culture in Central Asia and the Caucasus" forum that meets every other week for discussion of projects on Central Asia. The Working Group is aimed at providing a context for focused discussion on Central Asian and Caucasus-related topics among Harvard graduate students, faculty, and other interested scholars in the Cambridge and Boston area. Central Asia, for these purposes, is understood to include the states of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, as well as closely related areas: the Caucasus, the Volga Basin, Southwestern Siberia, Mongolia, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. Each week is devoted to a presentation of some work-in-progress (a thesis prospectus, chapter, or paper) by one of the Working Group participants, accompanied by helpful discussion by the group as a whole. The Working Group is chaired by John Schoeberlein, Director of the Harvard Program on Central Asia & the Caucasus. The Working Group is an activity of the Harvard Program on Central Asia and the Caucasus at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies. The group has been meeting since 1994. Guest speakers are also sometimes invited. In the organizational meeting, we will discuss the schedule for future meetings, which will be on Tuesdays, alternating with the meetings of the Central Asia and Caucasus Seminar (public seminar series). If you would like to receive the regular notices about presentations in this forum (even if you don't expect to attend regularly), please let me know and I will add your address to the address list for this purpose (note: this is not the same as the Central-Asia-Harvard-List, so you'll have to indicate specifically if you want to be included). Note that since the Working Group activities are generally aimed at the Group's membership, regular information about the up-coming meetings will ONLY be distributed to those who ask to be included on this list. If you know of anyone who might be interested in joining the Working Group, please pass on the word about it. Please also consider the possibility of presenting a project at some point in the course of the semester or the year, and come to the first meeting with ideas. Note that the project can be something rather "raw", though ideally you should have a (draft) paper that can be distributed in advance of your presentation. Please contact me with any questions or suggestions you might have. For general information/questions and directions to our new office at 1730 Cambridge St., please call my assistant at (617)496-2643, or write to <centasia(a)fas.harvard.edu>. I look forward to your participation!
