CSEES Discussion Group
The Center for Slavic and East European Studies is announcing the creation of a CSEES Discussion Group which aims to provide an opportunity for the interdisciplinary exchange and discussion of ideas related to Russia, the former Soviet Union (including Central Asia), Central and South-Eastern Europe. The group proposes to examine concepts such as (national, ethnic, religious, and gender) identities, citizenship, democracy, security, empire, and post-communist legacy. In light of recent conflicts in the Balkans and Central Asia, the group will consider how to talk about the responsibility of the humanities and social sciences in encouraging a (renewed) debate about the nature and origin of social bonds, a debate that makes possible better political responses to new challenges: for instance, in the modern clash of religions and the ghettoizing of communities.Winter Quarter 2009 - Post-Communism and/or Post-Colonialism
