Bosnian Studies: A Community Conversation [Book Launch]

Join us on Saturday, February 4, for a panel discussion and conversation with the editors and two scholars in the field for a discussion inspired by the newly released Bosnian Studies: Perspectives from an Emerging Field. About the volume This volume seeks to illuminate how Bosnian migrant and diaspora scholars are contributing to the development of Bosnian Studies. The authors included in this volume are either writing from their (new) home bases in Australia, Austria, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among others, or they have returned to Bosnia after a period of migration. Their chapters have distinct entry points of inquiry, demonstrating how scholars have integrated Bosnia as a theme across the range of disciplines in which they are situated. The selections included in the volume range from literary analysis to personal memoirs of the conflict, from studies of heritage and identity to political science analysis of diaspora voting, to genocide studies and questions of (or lack of) ethics in the growing field of Bosnian Studies. Reception to follow. Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Left Bank Books. Free and open to the public
