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 at 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 at uottawa.ca 
AND darelasn2012 at 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 at columbia.edu).



The ASN Facebook page will post regular updates on the ASN 2011 
Convention. To become a follower of ASN on Facebook, go to
