2021 Annual Meeting of the Gypsy Lore Society and Conference on Romani StudiesGypsy Lore Society conferences are among the most significant annual scholarly events devoted to Romani Studies worldwide. Each year the event is located in a different place, and is organized by the Gypsy Lore Society in cooperation with local academic institutions. The 2021 Annual Meeting of the Gypsy Lore Society and Conference on
Romani Studies is scheduled for 8–11 September 2021 and will be held in
Prague. The academic conference will take place September 8 through September 10. An excursion to the Museum of Romani Culture in Brno is planned for September 11. The 2020 Conference planned for Prague and organized together with
Charles University had to be postponed due to covid-19 pandemic. We are happy
to announce that the location and organizers will stay the same for the 2021
Conference. Taking into account last year‘s experience, the event will be
organized as a hybrid conference in order to allow all contributors to
participate either in person, if possible, or on-line. Any
necessary changes to the conference arrangements will be announced on this website. The deadline for
submission of paper abstracts and prearranged panel proposals was 7
March 2021. The call for papers and presentation instructions have been archived for reference. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at gls2021Prague@ff.cuni.cz Important dates: Deadline for submission of papers and pre-arranged panel proposals: 7 March 2021. Deadline for the confirmation of contributions accepted for 2020 GLS Conference: 7 March 2021 (we will be grateful for all earlier confirmations). Notification of acceptance of new proposals by the Academic Committee: 31 March 2021. Conference Registration and Payment
Conference registration and fee payment. Early-bird registration closed 31 May 2021 Regular payment: 120 €, GLS members 100 € (1 June 2021 – 15 August 2021)
Please note that on-site payments will not be accepted. Conference fees are not refundable. The conference fee is calculated to cover especially the costs of the necessary IT support to enable the organization of the hybrid format of the conference. Additional costs covering specific support to enable on-line presentations and covering the needs of in-person participants amount to roughly the same. Furthermore we expect that participants may have to change their decisions regarding on-line or on-site attendance at the last moment due to changes in pandemic regulations. For these reasons the conference fee does not distinguish between on-line and on-site attendance. Costs related to possible on-site programs the extent of which will be dependent on current Czech regulations will be covered separately by those who decide to attend. Stipends to cover conference fees may be available to PhD students, early-career scholars, and retirees whose conference papers have been accepted for. Send inquiries to gls2021Prague@ff.cuni.cz Through the generosity of its members, the Gypsy Lore Society awards two stipends of $500 each to eligible Conference participants enrolled in a PhD program or those up to three years past completion of their PhD requirements. Find details below. Join the Gypsy Lore Society. New members will pay the GLS members’ fee for the conference. Membership is $40 per year and includes subscription to the journal Romani Studies and the Newsletter of the Gypsy Lore Society. Venue of the conference: Accommodation of participants attending in person will have to be organized individually. A limited number of pre-booked rooms in University facilities will be offered. Watch this website for hotel recommendations and travel information. Social events and a day-trip outside Prague for participants attending the conference in person will be organized only if conditions and regulations related to the current epidemiological situation will allow. We are happy to announce that the Museum of Romani Culture in Brno is our partner for the organization of the planned excursion.
