Irish Association for Russian, Central and East European Studies

Welcome to the site of the Irish Association for Russian, Central and East European Studies, IARCEES. This site provides information about the Association's background and current activities, membership and publications.

The principal activities of the Association are organising an annual conference and publishing the biennial Irish Slavonic Studies. We aim to expand our range of activities and to develop our Association as a forum for anyone with an interest in Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, and welcome any suggestions and ideas.

Please note: Members of the Association are urgently requested to renew their annual membership of the Association for 2008/9. Membership runs from the Annual Conference in May each year.

OUR LANGUAGES: Members are requested to participate in and to circulate information about a large-scale sociolinguistic investigation into cultural and linguistic diversity in the Republic of Ireland, drawing on the experience of people in Ireland who speak and understand Russian which is conducted by a team in the Department of Russian and Slavonic Studies (TCD, principal investigator Dr Sarah Smyth). The "Our Languages" project is funded by the IRCHSS.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE: The report about the 2008 conference is now online. The 2009 conference will be held in Maynooth (Organiser: Christian Noack, Dept. of History, NUIM).
