Like previous Polish studies events at SSEES, including the 2019 鈥楶olish Studies Today and Tomorrow鈥� conference, this event has a workshop format. Speakers will present work in progress. They look forward to receiving friendly and detailed feedback from colleagues united by a common interest in Poland, including Polish migration, but representing different academic disciplines. BASEES, and the BASEES Polish Studies Group, have an international membership, and this is reflected in our events (although you do not have to be a member of BASEES to participate). The BASEES Polish Studies Group 鈥榓ims to enhance discussion on critical perspectives emerging in the field of Polish studies...The group seeks to foster research collaboration and enhance exchanges of ideas and expertise.鈥�
This year鈥檚 conference will be held on on-line. To facilitate informed discussion, short papers will be made available in advance of the conference. Each speaker will present their paper in 15 minutes, followed by 25 minutes of questions and answers. Since this is work in progress, attendees are asked not to quote the papers without the authors鈥� permission. Registration will be announced shortly.
聽If you would like to attend, please email Anne White, Grabowski Professor of Polish Studies, SSEES, at anne.white@ucl.ac.uk by 15 September 2020.
