The Graduate Organisation for the Study of Europe and Central Asia (GOSECA) at the University of Pittsburgh invites graduate students from various disciplines to participate in our annual conference. This year's theme aims to explore the multifaceted and dynamic nature of the East European and Eurasian region, a crossroads where East meets West. We encourage scholars to unravel the intricate web of cultures, politics, economies, and more that intersect in the region, fostering a deeper understanding of its complexity. We welcome proposals for individual paper presentations that examine the East European region from diverse disciplinary perspectives.

Part of the Data Ethics Across the Disciplines series, this session will be a cross-disciplinary workshop on international data projects and cultural approaches to data harm.
