State Academic University for the Humanities (GAUGN) under the aegis of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) invites proposals for the conference in Russian and Eurasian Studies and welcomes scholars as well as students and young researchers.

The crisis engendered by the COVID-19 pandemics has catalyzed the structural changes in the world. This development sparked renewed interest in the historical, sociocultural, political, and economic aspects of epidemics and pandemics, currently evidenced by an outpouring of scholarship on the consequences of the current pandemic for the world.

This conference aims to analyze key factors that contribute to the cooperation, shifts, and transitions process in the course of Covid-19 and previous pandemics and epidemics. It will emphasize Russia and Eurasia's geographical emphasis but welcomes contributions that expand this spatial focus to different world regions to produce a more globally representative and more nuanced outlook on the historical and current cultural, sociopolitical, economic narratives.

The conference will allow participants to connect with fellow researchers across the world and expand the network of contacts at the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is prepared by the Graduate Studies Committee of the educational program - “Intensive course in Russian Studies".
