Deadline: November 16th 

Association of Central Eurasian Students Conference: Establishing Legitimacy and Authority in Central Eurasia Throughout the Ages (February 23, 2019) 

Accepting submissions for approximately 20 minute paper presentations (with 10 minute post-presentation questions and discussion) on topics related to Central Eurasia. There are no regional or temporal restrictions on topics and papers from all disciplinary backgrounds are welcome. Submissions can include but are not limited to topics on the Afghan, Balto-Finnic, Hungarian, Mongolic, Persian, Tibetan, Tungusic, and Turkic peoples, languages, cultures, and states.

The primary goal of the conference will be to bring together a wide range of scholars who share an interest in Central Eurasia. All topics related to the region are welcome, although a particular focus will be authority and legitimacy in Central Eurasia. It is strongly encouraged that submission of papers related to a discussion of how individuals, groups, and states have sought to promote their authority, legitimacy and control throughout the region or in specific contexts.

ACES is pleased to present Mark C. Elliot as our keynote speaker.
