HSAC is an interdisciplinary organization and we welcome papers from a wide range of disciplines, including: economics, film studies, the fine arts, history, literature, political science, public policy, sociology. In addition to this year’s special theme, the Conference Committee welcomes submissions exploring all aspects of Hungarian culture, history, politics and society, both in Hungary and abroad. Papers may be presented in English, Hungarian, or French.
The deadline for submitting proposals is December 15th, 2010. Your proposal should contain the paper’s title, an abstract summarizing your topic with key arguments and sources, as well as a brief curriculum vitae. Please submit your abstract and paper title by the deadline and in the language in which you wish to present.
