The Association for Women in Slavic Studies and the AAASS Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession are hosting a luncheon on Saturday, 23 November 2002, at the AAASS Convention in Pittsburgh. The luncheon will begin at 12:30 pm (and not 10:15 am as incorrectly stated in the preliminary program) in Sterlings 1 in the Hilton Hotel. The luncheon is a buffet with a choice of sandwiches, salads, desserts, and beverages. The ticket price is $28.35 (including gratuity and taxes). To purchase a ticket please send a check made out to the AWSS to Professor Christine Worobec, Department of History, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL 60115. Please include your e-mail address with your check so that receipt of the check can be acknowledged. You must purchase a ticket in advance. No tickets will be sold at the door. Tickets and receipts can be picked up at the convention at the AWSS booth in the exhibits area.

At 1:30, the business portion of our meeting will begin. The business meeting is open to everyone, including those who do not attend the luncheon. We will announce our prize winners for this year and conduct any other business. Please join us for a fun and relaxing meal!

Women in Slavic Culture and Literature Discussion Group
(University of Illinois Summer Research Laboratory)

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Women in Slavic Culture and Literature Discussion Group held annually at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana Research Laboratory. This discussion group serves an important function in Russian and East European gender studies by providing opportunity to get feedback on works in progress from supportive colleagues. In addition, there will be valuable round tables and discussions on questions related to Slavic gender studies. There are still plenty of spots left for those who would like to sign up to present a works in progress or formal paper.

If you are interested in presenting a paper this summer, please contact the discussion group coordinator, Michelle Denbeste, assistant professor of Russian history at the CSU, Fresno by email at: Mdenbest@csufresno.edu.
