Dear colleagues,
those who have interest and possibility, can come to the Annual
meeting of Social Science History Association in Palmer House Hilton,
Chicago, Illinois 60603, November 19-23, where two panels on
Macrohistorical Dynamics are organized (see below).
A week ago when it became clear for me that there are financial
possibilities to go to Chicago, i told it to colleagues, this news
was followed by wonderful consolidation (special thanks to Gunder
Frank, Randall Collins, Art Sctinchcombe, Chris Chase-Dunn for
financial and moral support).
as you can imagine i will be rather short in money in Chicago, and
if it is possible in Chicago area (to bring me to and back by car) to
organize a lecture in philosophical, historical, social sciences or
Slavic department 23 or 24 November it would be both a good
opportunity for communication and essential aid for me.
I leave just now, if a proposal appears please send information
directly to Dr.Georgi M. Derluguian <gderlug@nwu.edu> with whom i'll
be in contact in Chicago.
Best wishes,
hope to see some of you in Chicago
Nikolai Rozov, Professor of Philosophy (Novosibirsk State
University, Russia) <rozov@nsu.ru>
