I'm looking for annual conference about Russia sponsored by Harvard University, it's in October in US?

The Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University will host an international conference on the history and legacy of the Gulag. The conference will be held on November 2-5, 2006. Historians, literature scholars, political scientists, sociologists, economists and anthropologists will gather to discuss the burgeoning scholarship on the Gulag and its ongoing legacies. Topics for discussion include the history of the Stalinist Gulag, economy of the Gulag, literature of the Gulag, release from the Gulag, the legacy of the Gulag in the post-Stalin and post-Soviet periods, the dissident and human rights movement in the Soviet Union, nationality/ethnicity in the Gulag, the Gulag in comparative perspective, contemporary Russian attitudes toward the history of the Stalinist past and contemporary Russian penal policies. The scholarly communities of the greater Boston area will be invited to attend the conference.
