SCSS’s 2024 annual conference will be held March 14-17, 2024 at the AC Hotel by Marriott Chapel Hill Downtown. Refer to the SCSS website for more information about the 2024 SCSS conference as well as information about past meetings.

The Southern Conference on Slavic Studies, the oldest and largest affiliate of ASEEES, is proud to announce that its 60th annual meeting will be held in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. As the first conference of SCSS was held at UNC, it is fitting that our 60th anniversary meeting will return to Chapel Hill for a celebration of our significant contributions to slavic studies in its myriad manifestations (history, literature, language, linguistics, politics, philosophy, film, culture, religion, art, and more). Every SCSS meeting is the perfect synthesis of first-rate scholarship and long-lasting friendships.

While there are many academic meetings all over the world, there is only one that scholars will talk about years from now with nostalgia and fondness. Treat yourself to the best that our profession offers by organizing a panel or submitting a paper or just attending because it will be great.
