ACCOMMODATION

2008 SOYUZ Annual Symposium
"Critical Inquiry through the Lens of Postsocialism"
University of California, Berkeley
April 24-26, 2008

Information for accommodation for conference participants and attendees

The conference planning committee has reserved a block of rooms in Durant Hotel, which is located in Berkeley, within walking distance from the campus. This is the most convenient option for those who have sufficient funding. The cost of a double room is $134; the rooms can be shared by two people. If you are looking for someone to share a room with, please email Larisa Kurtovic ( ) and she will put you in touch with others looking to split the costs of accommodation. When making a reservation, please alert the receptionist that you are with the SOYUZ conference and want the special rate. If you are planning on coming to the conference, please make the hotel reservation as soon as possible.

Contact information of the Durant Hotel is
HOTEL DURANT
2600 DURANT AVE.
BERKELEY, CA 94704
TEL:(510) 845-8981 FAX: (510) 486-8336

We also have several beds reserved in the Faculty Club here on campus which are slightly more affordable than the hotel. Priority of reservation will be given to international scholars and those lacking proper funding. Please contact Alex Believ ( ) for more information.

Finally, several Berkeley graduate students have kindly agreed to be hosts to graduate students who will be presenting at or attending the conference. Please contact Larisa Kurtovic ( ) for more information.

We look forward to seeing you here on the West Coast.

Sincerely, The 2008 Soyuz Organizing Committee
