The Annual Conference of AATSEEL, the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages, is moving! Beginning with the next meeting, the AATSEEL Conference will be held in early January, on the first Thursday-Sunday following January 2 of each year. The next conference will be held on January 6-9, 2011 in beautiful Pasadena, California.

Annual AATSEEL Conferences are energetic gatherings that focus on the aesthetic, creative, and communicative aspects of Slavic cultures —long considered to be among the world’s richest and most provocative.

The 2011 AATSEEL Conference will features scores of scholarly panels, supplemented by less formal roundtables, master classes, workshops, informal coffee conversations with leading scholars, and other special events: receptions, poetry readings and a film screening.

Other special events at the 2011 AATSEEL Conference will include a master class, led by Williams Mills Todd, III on the 19th Century Russian Novel and a workshop, led by Irina Paperno, on Tolstoy in the classroom.

The AATSEEL Conference is held concurrently with the meeting of the Modern Language Association. Future dates and locations for the AATSEEL Conference are:

• January 5-8, 2012: Seattle, Washington
• January 3-6, 2013: Boston, Massachusetts
