Yale European and Eurasian Studies Graduate Student Conference

The European Studies Council (ESC) of the Yale MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies will host the 6th annual Yale European and Eurasian Studies Graduate Student Conference. The hybrid-format conference is scheduled to take place on May 6-7, 2025, at Yale University. It will provide a forum for researchers to share and discuss work related to European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies, and include a concluding reception.

This international and interdisciplinary conference seeks to showcase current research and foster exchange between students, postdocs, and faculty working across diverse disciplines on the most pressing challenges facing Europe, Russia, and Eurasia today. 

Full Conference Program Coming Soon!

The conference will feature research panels of paper presentations. Participants will have 10-12 minutes to present their papers (max 2,000 words and distributed in advance to a discussant) in English. All papers of the conference will be published in an online journal of conference proceedings. Each presentation will be followed by feedback from a discussant and comments from the audience. Accepted individual papers will be placed onto a panel organized by format and theme, will receive feedback from a discussant, and will be given time to discuss questions with the audience. We strive to create a safe space for new scholars to present their ideas.
