Sex and sexuality in East-Central European contexts are relatively new topics of academic inquiry. While the past five years have seen a growing academic interest, from histories of queer life, prostitution and sexology to ethnographies of lgbtq movements and queer literary representations, forums for scholars working on sex and sexuality in East-Central Europe have often remained fragmented and disciplinarily bound.
The Centre for Study of Popular Culture is seeking papers which address the interconnectedness of urban and rural themes in the popular culture of East Central European societies. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches as well as applications from those who seek to incorporate audio-visual material into their presentations.
Aleksanteri Institute, University of Helsinki and Finnish Centre of Excellence in Russian Studies - Choices of Russian Modernisation launched the Call for Papers "Culture and Russian Society" for the 15th Annual Aleksanteri Conference, taking place on October 21-23, 2015 at the University of Helsinki.
