AWSSGRAD-L Listserv AWSSGRAD-L is a listserv for graduate students in Slavic, East European, and Central Eurasian studies The primary purpose of AWSSGRAD-L is to encourage lively and professional discussion of the ins and outs of the graduate experience, which will helpto ease the sense of isolation that is often felt by graduate students. Discussions can include a broad range of topics, such as: gender issues in our research, our departments, and in the profession; current research and research interests; methods and tools of analysis; preparing for papers and exams; networking; choosing and getting along with mentors; navigating departmental politics; reviews of primary and secondary sources; balancing one's personal and professional lives; and managing time and financial resources. The list is moderated by Cheri Wilson, a Ph.D. candidate in Russian history at the University of Minnesota. To subscribe, please send the following command: subscribe awssgrad-l <first name> <last name> (Note: Please use the letter "l," not the number "1") to Once your subscription request has been received, you will be sent a questionnaire to complete. Upon completion of the questionnaire, you will be subscribed to the listserv. Please e-mail Cheri Wilson if you have any further questions.

Presses Grant Proposal Archive AWSS has established an archive of successful grant proposals at the graduate and post-graduate levels that may serve as models for members planning to apply to various agencies for funding. Send copies of successful proposals to Christine Worobec, Dept. of History, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL 60115. (Electronic submission is encouraged). For information on assistance editing grant proposals, see below. Mentor Program The mentoring list is maintained by the graduate student representatives to the Board of the Association for Women in Slavic Studies. If you wish to add your name to the list, or to correct information on it, contact Cheri Wilson. Everyone on the list urges graduate students, undergraduate students, and even junior faculty not to be shy or hesitant about getting in touch. Mentors not only wish to help develop the future of our profession, but also gain great satisfaction from learning about the research and projects that will shape that future. Unless otherwise indicated, everyone listed is willing to mentor both graduate and undergraduate students. Click here to see the current list of AWSS mentors. (The information contained in the mentor list was current as of 1998. Some contact information obviously has changed. Please check back later for an updated version).
