2020 Conference Postponed, 2021 Conference Scheduled
After quite some consideration, taking into account the responses we have gathered from you as well as the possibilities of a hybrid conference format that would combine on-site and on-line meeting for those that cannot come, the organization committee has finally decided to postpone the 2020 Gypsy Lore Society Conference on Romani Studies.
The conference is now scheduled for September 8-10, 2021. The venue remains the same. We hope we will be able to welcome all of you in Prague.
The conference will work with all panels and abstracts accepted for the originally planned conference, unless presenters and conveners decide on changes. We will also open a new call to enable the participation of other researchers interested and the presentation of new research.
Thank you very much for all your support and interactions so far. We look forward to continued cooperation during the preparation of GLS 2021. We will keep you informed of all further developments. |
