CfA: Discussant: Panel on ex-Yugoslav popular music, AAASS Conference (16-19 November, Washington DC)

Dear all,

The original discussant for our panel on ex-Yugoslav popular music at the AAASS conference this year (16-19 November, Washington DC) has unfortunately had to withdraw, so we're searching for another discussant.

The panel comprises three papers:
Dean Vuletic (Columbia) 'The number one generation: cultural politics and popular music in Yugoslavia in the 1950s'
Martin Pogacar (UCL SSEES) 'Between urban and rural: Yu-rock in the 1980s' Catherine Baker (UCL SSEES) 'When Seve met Bregovic: folklore, turbofolk, and the boundaries of Croatian musical identity'
The panel will be chaired by Eric Gordy from Clark University.

Please let me know if you'd be interested in acting as discussant for us, or if you know of anyone else who might be able to help!

Best wishes,

Catherine Baker
UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies
