AAASS is the largest Slavic studies organization in the US

 

The AAASS is the largest Slavic studies organization in the US. It is holding its annual convention in Boston this Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (December 4-7, 2004). There are literally scores of panels. I have set forth below some which may of of interest to readers (including one where yours' truly will be speaking). The events take place at the Boston Marriott Copley Place at 110 Huntington Avenue in downtown Boston.
