With funding from Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Wisconsin Russia Project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will host a two-day conference for young scholars in the social sciences with a focus on contemporary Russia. The conference will be held virtually via Zoom on January 28-29. Abstracts for papers in the following five thematic areas are invited: 1) education, labor markets, and inequality; 2) law and society; 3) political economy; 4) identity, place, and migration; and 5) demographic change. The working language of the conference will be English. Preference will be given to graduate students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. or kandidat program or to those within 5 years of completing such studies.

Participants whose papers are selected for presentation will be offered a modest honorarium for full participation in the conferences (attendance at all sessions).
The conference will be conducted in English, and all materials must be submitted in English.
