Slavic Reference Service: Caucasus Research Forum

The Slavic Reference Service invites you to join us for our virtual Caucasus Research Forum, an interdisciplinary research forum that seeks to unite multidisciplinary scholars, librarians and archivists, students, and policy researchers. Participants are invited to submit an abstract for a 15-minute presentation about their ongoing or completed research. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where researchers may receive feedback from a variety of perspectives.

We are seeking proposals for paper presentations and roundtable discussions that will address the forum theme and sub-themes.

Sub-themes of the forum include:

• Travel Writing
• Caucasus Region in World Literature
• Diaspora Communities
• Displacement and Migration
• Archives and Special Collections

This event will take place on April 23–24, 2025 on Zoom. 

Proposals should be submitted no later than April 6, 2025 at 11:59 p.m., CST. Decision emails will be sent out on April 9, 2025.

The Caucasus Research Forum is made possible by funding from the Department of State’s Program for the Study of Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII). This forum is intended to provide a supportive and informal environment for researchers, information professionals, and students to discuss future, ongoing, or completed scholarly projects.
