CESS conferences have been held at universities around North America and Central Eurasia since 2000. They offer up to 70 panels and attract around 400 participants from all over the world. The conference, a staple event since 2000, has been a platform for scholars from North America and Central Eurasia to converge and share their insights. CESS President Ablet Kamalov (Turan University) and CESS Past President Jeff Sahadeo (Carleton University) are playing a key part in organizing the conferences this year. CESS Fall 2024 promises a broad reach, inviting scholars to contribute across all humanities and social science disciplines concerning Central Eurasia.

The conference will be in-person only.
