Conference panels

Participants in CASI History and Literature Workshop put together six panels in 2019 alone. Members of the workshop presented at both the CESS (Central Eurasian Studies Society) and ESCAS (European Society for Central Asian Studies) conferences, with talks on oral literature, Soviet Central Asian fiction, and on issues of self and other in the literary art of imperial Central Asia. This was in addition to a panel on Central Asian literature at the 2020 MLA (Modern Language Association) Convention, part of CASI’s broader effort to build bridges between the workshop and literary fields outside the narrow confines of Central Asian studies.
