LXII ISSN 0381-6133 President’s Introduction This year’s newsletter celebrates the contributions and scholarship of CAS members from coast to coast.At a time when many international borders are closed and when the daily lives of people are being conducted on more localized stages, it is heartening to see what colleagues and friends have been up to and to dream of the moment when we will all be able to gather again. It is in that spirit that I wish each and every one of you continued good health.

In the words of the prize committee's final report: "Zina J. Gimpelevich has written a magisterial study on a topic that is both important and under-researched. She has shown that modern Belarusian literature stood out from other cultures of East-Central Europe because of its predominantly friendly and inclusive portrayal of the land’s substantial Jewish population.

LII 1 THE CAS NEWSLETTER CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SLAVISTS • ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE DES SLAVISTES ISSN 0381-6133 NO. 107 FALL-SPRING 2009-2010 VOL. LII 12 May 2010 Address by Professor Zinaida Gimpelevich, the President of the Canadian Association of Slavists: Dear colleagues, members, and friends of the Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS), Let me greet you all. I am happy to confirm once again that, thanks to your ongoing support on every level and on every issue, the Canadian Association of Slavists is a solid, healthy, and diverse organization that strongly represents Canadian academia nationally and internationally. We are working truly amicably together. During the last academic year I took part in five international scholarly events and worked closely on your behalf with the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Besides my own presentations at these academic venues, I looked intently at other Slavic and non-Slavic academic organizations: their academic and teaching activities, numbers and percentage of academic ranks, students‘ ratio and participation, age groups, and gender. My conclusion is that CAS has a reason to stand tall because our standards and achievements are high. We teach and study to the best of our abilities, and our publications are well received around the globe. Our members receive promotions and get recognition at their own institutions, nationally and internationally. Let me give you just a few examples. Dr. Natalia Pylypiuk has been promoted to the rank of full professor (Congratulations, Natalia!). Dr. David Marples was elected as the President of NAAB (North American Association of Belarusists; Congratulations, David!).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis employs historical, literary and anthropological methods to show how narratives of identity have been expressed in Croatia since 1991 (when Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia) through popular music and through talking about popular music. Since the beginning of the war in Croatia (1991-95) when the state media stimulated the production of popular music conveying appropriate narratives of national identity, Croatian popular music has been a site for the articulation of explicit national narratives of identity. The practice has continued into the present day, reflecting political and social change in Croatia (e.g. the growth of the war veterans lobby and protests against the Hague Tribunal).

  • Belarusian Studies in the West David Marples
    IN MEMORIAM EDITORIAL BELARUSIAN STUDIES IN THE WEST DAVID MARPLES In the late 1990s, it seemed, the Western world finally took note of the Republic of Belarus. Two major conferences were held at the Davis Center, Harvard University in 1999 and the European Research Institute at the University of Bath in 2000, which brought together a wide array of scholars, from Bela- rus, EU countries, and North America. Both ultimately resul- ted in publications. Why the sudden interest? It seemed to be a combination of factors, including the emergence of an authoritarian regime in Minsk with the disappearance of several prominent figures who had formerly been close to Lukashenka; questions about the future of Belarus and whether it was possible to establish a democratic regime there, together with the efforts at a dia- logue between the regime and the opposition, mediated by the OSCE Advisory and Monitoring Group in Minsk headed by the German diplomat Hans Georg Wieck, formerly German ambassador to the USSR. The two conferences, unfortunately, did not herald a peri- od of sustained interest. Still, in 2007 the Center for Belarusian FR. ALEXANDER NADSON Studies was established in Winfield, Kansas on the initiative of August 8, 1926 - April 15, 2015 the first US Ambassador to Belarus following its independen- ce, David H. Swartz. Headed by ethno-musician Professor M. The Belarusian Review editorial board would like to ex- Paula Survilla as Executive Director, the Center hosts visiting tend our deepest sympathy to all who knew Fr. Alexander scholars and students and runs a summer language program Nadson who has died on April 15, 2015 at the age of 88.

The Iowa Promise (Recruitment; Pipeline Development; Assessment; Climate; Retention; Innovation) The Iowa Promise, the strategic plan for 2005-2010, recognizes the link between educational excellence and diversity, and the importance of recruiting to the university faculty, staff and students from underrepresented communities and fostering a climate that enables all to succeed. The Iowa Promise set forth goals for faculty diversity, including gender diversity, and established the principle that all parts of the university are to be accountable for achieving those goals. In FY 2006, The University of Iowa recruited its largest class of faculty from underrepresented communities, and in one year exceeded its strategic planning benchmark for racial and ethnic diversity of tenured/tenure track faculty, and also made progress on its gender diversity goal. The clear message of the Executive Vice President and Provost was to continue efforts to further increase faculty diversity, while establishing programs to promote retention. The Iowa Promise also establishes as a goal regularly assessing the climate through surveys.
