ABOUT

Soyuz is formally constituted as the Post-Communist Cultural Studies
Interest Group of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) and is
also recognized as an official unit of the American Association for the
Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS). It is also more broadly conceived
as an international congeries of scholars working in postsocialist
cultural studies. We gather at AAA and AAASS meetings in North America,
various conferences in Europe, and here on the web to distribute
information on our projects.

Like all H-Net lists, H-Soyuz is moderated to edit out material
that, in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves
technical matters (such as subscription management requests), is
inflammatory, or violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet
etiquette. H-Net's
procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial practices is
Article II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:

ANNOUNCING: H-Borderlands: H-Net Network on U.S.-Mexico Borderlands

Member of: H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences Online
http://www.h-net.org

ABOUT

H-Borderlands is dedicated to the history, culture, politics, and
contemporary affairs of the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands specifically, and
comparative borderlands more broadly. The network seeks to integrate the
longstanding focus upon the Spanish and U.S.-Mexican Borderlands with the
global and metaphorical borderlands made popular by recent international
events and discussions among scholars and policy makers. The network
builds upon the themes and issues covered in various listservs by charting
new avenues of discourse that investigate comparative borderlands,
globalization and transnationalism, the borderlands of race and gender,
public policy, and borderlands theory. In doing so, the discussion list
will provide an interdisciplinary forum for scholars and those outside of
academe to discuss issues pertinent to Borderlands Studies. The audience,
content, tone, intellectual scope, Editorial and Advisory Boards, and
services provided by the discussion list will reflect the vitality of the
field(s) comprising Borderlands Studies in the broadest sense.

Like all H-Net lists, H-Borderlands is moderated to edit out material that,
in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves technical
matters (such as subscription management requests), is inflammatory, or
violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette. H-Net's
procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial practices is Article
II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:
