    CALL FOR PAPERS

    International Conference on the Armenian Communities of Asia Minor

    University of California, Los Angeles, Saturday-Sunday, March 19-20, 2010

    Sponsored by the UCLA Armenian Educational Chair in Modern Armenian History

    The 18th in the AEF Chair series on Historic Armenian Cities and
    Provinces will focus on the Armenian Communities of Asia Minor
    (Anatolia) from ancient times to the present. The area covered will
    be from the Asiatic shores of the Sea of Marmara to the borders of
    Caesarea (Kaiseria; Kayseri) and along the Black and Mediterranean
    seas to Sinope and Cilicia. There were significant active Armenian
    communities in Kastamuni, Izmid, Bursa, Banderma, Adabazar,
    Bardizag, Eskishehir, Kutahia, Konia, Yozgat, and elsewhere in Asia
    Minor. Abstracts are invited that cover aspects of the social,
    economic, art and architectural, educational, musical, religious,
    administrative, and political history of any single community or the
    region as a whole. Caesarea (Kesaria/Kayseri), Smyrna/Izmir,
    Constantinople, and Cilicia are not included as they have been the
    subject of previous conferences. In case of need, there will be
    funding for partial air fare and accommodations.

    Please submit an abstract of 300 to 500 words by September 1, 2009,
    together with the following information: (1) Your full name and
    title; (2) Academic affiliation;
    (3) mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number.

    In the first instance, please inform me of your intent to submit an
    abstract so that I may determine if there are sufficient materials
    and interest to organize such a conference

    Please respond to [email protected]

    and send your abstract by Word attachment to the same address.
