Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies

The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) is a scholarly society "dedicated to advancing knowledge about Central Asia, the Caucasus, Russia, and Eastern Europe in regional and global contexts." The ASEEES supports teaching, research, and publication relating to the peoples and territories within this area.

ASEEES has cultivated the field's intellectual landscape for over fifty years through its chief publication, ''Slavic Review'', Annual Convention, book prizes, and organizational newsletter. The ''Slavic Review'' scholarly journal has c.3,800 subscribers around the world. It features articles that can take any disciplinary approach, and are deemed to be original and significant to the field by peer-reviewers. The journal also features reviews and critiques of recent research within the field.

In addition to providing access to current research and scholarship through ''Slavic Review'', ASEEES has also held an Annual Convention for decades. These conventions focus on intellectual vitality in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies as an international forum for 2,000 attendees (scholars, professionals, and graduate students—both domestic and international) to exchange new research and information face-to-face on an annual basis. The convention lasts four days and features approximately 500 panels and round-tables and 40 meetings.

The Annual Convention also awards prizes to works of merit published in the field within the preceding year. ASEEES awards nine book prizes, a dissertation prize, and a graduate essay prize.

ASEEES' organizational newsletter serves as the informal medium for coverage of the news of the field and profession. Distributed to their 3000 members five times a year, it reports the activities of members and affiliates, notes members' recent publications, provides a calendar of conferences, features articles and speeches, lists summer programs and fellowship/grant opportunities, and job postings from their over fifty institutional members.
