The Title VI Centers at the Universities of Kansas, Texas, and Wisconsin are pleased to announce the launch of a new interdisciplinary working paper series, Emerging Perspectives: Working Papers on Eastern Europe and Eurasia.  The series aims to highlight the very best work conducted by graduate students concerning the history, languages, cultures, religions, social issues, politics, and economic issues within the region.  It will provide quick turnaround and a timely publication outlet for original research, including new analyses and innovative research reviews. Submissions from all disciplinary perspectives are welcomed, with interdisciplinary submissions receiving preferential treatment.  The series provides the opportunity to receive recognition, feedback, and comments and will assist students in developing familiarity with the publication process.

Submissions are welcomed from Masters, Doctoral, and Professional school students whose primary areas of interest include a focus on Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by the editorial committee for inclusion in the Emerging Perspectives series. The editorial board consists of an interdisciplinary group of scholars at the three sponsoring universities. Decisions will be made within six weeks of receipt, with authors given no more than three weeks after notification for all revisions and editing.  The papers will be published electronically on the Emerging Perspectives web site, and twenty offprints will be provided to the author.
