["Slavic Review" <slavic-review@ad.uiuc.edu>]

Call for Papers (Slavic Review):
Nature, Culture, and Power in Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia
 
For a special issue of Slavic Review on environmental studies
Guest Editor: Zsuzsa Gille (Sociology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
 
The relationship between environmental studies and east European, Russian, and Eurasian area studies over the last half century is best characterized as one of mutual ignorance. Recently, however, there has been a renewed interest in nature, the science of ecology, and environmentalism among scholars of eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia. The scholarship is now ripe for mapping out existing research agendas and exploring new directions, for evaluating the relevance of various social theories and methodologies, and for analyzing the academic politics of doing research and publishing in this field.
 
Slavic Review is calling for papers that contribute to the advancement of environmental studies concerning eastern Europe, Russia, and Eurasia. Empirical and analytical pieces are both welcome. We encourage contributions from all disciplines and especially interdisciplinary approaches and papers that discuss issues of methodology and theory. If you have questions, please contact the editor of Slavic Review, Mark Steinberg at slavrev@uiuc.edu or Zsuzsa Gille at gille@uiuc.edu.
 
Please submit abstracts of one to two pages by June 1, 2007 to: 
Slavic Review 
University of Illinois
57 East Armory St.
Champaign, IL 61820
(or as an email attachment to slavrev@uiuc.edu)
 
The editors will decide by June 30, 2007 which proposals to accept for full submissions of papers. Manuscripts of not more than 8000 words excluding endnotes will be due December 1, 2007. Submitted papers must conform to Slavic Review standards (see www.slavicreview.uiuc.edu/info/manuscripts.html) and will be peer-reviewed. The special issue is planned for the Winter 2008 issue.
