BASEES members are reminded that nominations for the Alexander Nove and George Blazyca Book Prizes are open until July 1st, 2019.

All this week over on Twitter, @BASEES has been celebrating International Women’s Day with daily “themed” calls to nominate notable women. We’ve invited you to propose your favourite fictional character from Slavic literature, your most inspiring academic colleague, the most significant women in Slavic history and culture, and, of course, Slavic women writers and translators! The result has been an outpouring of appreciation and gratitude from men and women alike, and a real celebration of women’s achievements and scholarship in the field of Slavic studies.

Catherine Gibson (EUI Florence) wins 2019 BASEES Postgraduate Prize.
