Under the theme听"Transnationalism(s): Contexts, Patterns and Connections in Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union", the 14th International Postgraduate Conference will bring together postgraduate students to present cutting-edge research in the field of East European Studies.听

Thinking beyond 鈥渢he national鈥� is here to stay. Though recent events in Central and Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet space have brought the continued relevance of borders into stark relief, we are more than ever in need of a toolkit that makes sense of processes, events and patterns occurring and recurring beyond the nation-state. At the same time, when dealing with the already-ambiguous and contested limits of 鈥淐entral Europe鈥�, 鈥淓astern Europe鈥�, 鈥渢he Balkans鈥�, or 鈥渢he Caucasus鈥�, thinking transnationally may also transform previous notions of 鈥渞egion鈥�. The aim of our conference is to debate both the concrete and the theoretical issues that stem from de-centring and re-contextualising both the nation-state, and other sub-ordinate and super-ordinate levels of analysis.
