By offering a platform for intellectual exchange, the symposium will create valuable opportunities for scholars to advance the field through collaboration, including scholarly dialogues, joint projects, and publications. The inaugural Kenneth E. Naylor Symposium, scheduled for April 4, 2025, will showcase emerging scholars who will present their research and explore its contributions to the broader field of Southeast European Studies.
