About CIES Eurasia SIG

The CIES Eurasia SIG will bring together educational researchers and practitioners working on or in Eurasia.

Eurasia is herein understood to include post-Soviet countries; post-socialist regions of Eastern/Central Europe; as well as those countries whose histories were impacted by Soviet or socialist policies.

* Organizing and sponsoring a conference panel at CIES 2010
* Creating a web site and listserv devoted to sharing research, conferences, events, etc.
* Creating a virtual bookshelf of scholarly materials
* Publishing working papers
* Identifying prominent Eurasian scholars and helping them submit their biographies to http://www.CIEclopedia.org , the online database of comparative and international education scholars.
