About the Yale European and Eurasian Studies Conference

The European Studies Council of the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale is holding the eighth annual graduate student conference. It is designed to showcase current research and encourage exchange among students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty working across European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies.

The call welcomes individual paper proposals from graduate students and early-career scholars enrolled at universities or colleges around the world. Applicants may come from any academic field. The announcement names Political Science, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Security, Film and Media Studies, Economics, Literature, Law, Cultural Studies, and Public Health among the relevant disciplines.

In the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine, the organizers are especially receptive to proposals that advance the decentralization and decolonization of scholarship on the former communist bloc, including the Soviet Union, Central and Eastern Europe, and Eurasia more broadly. The conference is scheduled for March 4–5, 2027, at Yale University in a hybrid format. Applicants will be informed of their proposal status by November 30, 2026.

Researchers considering other academic gatherings can browse events and conference opportunities or explore other opportunities for youth.
