2025 Convention

One of the core activities of the Association is the annual convention. Held in the fall in a different city in North America, this international forum makes possible a broad exchange of information and ideas, stimulating further work and sustaining the intellectual vitality of the field.



Memory

2025 ASEEES President: Adrienne Edgar, UC Santa Barbara

Memory is both personal and collective, and shared ways of remembering help to define human communities. In Eastern Europe and Eurasia, individual and “unofficial” memories have often been seen as more trustworthy than the history recounted in official sources. Yet individual memory is inevitably affected and shaped by public memory, which some states and political elites try to manipulate for their own gain. Authoritarian rulers, whatever their ideological stripe, seek to control historical memory in order to bolster and justify their rule.

The submission site is open. Deadline March 1, 2025.
