Hi, this is Rick Matland's webpage. I've set this up so as to provide access to information needed by students for the courses I teach, to provide access to recent research that I've been working on for scholars interested in similar questions, and to prove that I'm not behind the times!

You'll find my CV, course information, copies of recent articles and pre-prints of things that will be coming out soon. In addition, this spring I am organized a workshop at the  at the University of Bergen in Norway on Women's Representation in Eastern Europe.. This site includes information on the workshop, including what papers were published. Additional information on the book we are developing from the conference will appear shortly..

If you have an complaints mail my TA at jabocanegra@hotmail.com, if you have any compliments they can be sent to me at the e-mail address above.
