Among the most exciting interdisciplinary and interdepartmental opportunities at the University of Chicago are graduate and faculty workshops sponsored by the Council for Advanced Study (CAS). The CAS also offers the opportunity for graduate students and faculty to design new workshops and reading groups on a regular basis.
The Slavic Department organizes the annual graduate student conference known as The Slavic Forum. A student-run conference drawing graduate students from all over the Chicago region, Slavic Forum is an excellent venue for scholarly exchange and professional development. More information and a call for papers will be available in Autumn 2024. The next Slavic Forum is tentatively scheduled for April 4-5, 2025.
The annual Medieval Slavic Workshop brings scholars from across the world to discuss all aspects of Slavic medieval culture.
Other conferences, lectures, and workshops take place throughout the year. To be added to the department listserv for announcements about upcoming events, please contact slavic-department@uchicago.edu.
