Founded in Lancaster, England in 1982, the British Universities' Siberian Studies Seminar (BUSSS) is the only organization in the world that is exclusively dedicated to the intellectual development of specialists in Siberia and the Russian Far East. It is an international, multidisciplinary scholarly organization that has met nine times through 2004. The Tenth BUSSS is scheduled to meet for the first time outside of the UK or Russia in Houston, Texas between April 7 and 11, 2004. It will comprise a maximum of 73 scholars from 9 different countries, including: 30 from the United States; 11 to 22 from Russia; 8 from the United Kingdom; 5 from Germany; 3 from Canada; 2 from Australia; and 1 each from Denmark, Italy, and the Netherlands. Sixty scholarly papers, ranging from studies of "contested environmental space" to "the land of the singing boats," will be presented via 10 panels. One out of five of the participants will be geographers or earth scientists.Although the Tenth BUSSS will be conceptually various, it will not be without an underlying theme. This will deal with the question of whether Siberia and the Russian Far East, two of the most sparsely populated regions on earth, are not, indeed, "overpopulated," as has been argued cogently in a recent publication of the Brookings Institution (The Curse of Siberia. 2004). The international, multidisciplinary nature of the BUSSS permits the mixing and cross-fertilization of ideas from Siberian and Far Eastern specialists throughout the world. To date, an entire generation of Siberian specialists has been nurtured by the interrelationships developed at the seminars. In the last dozen years, increasing numbers of Russian specialists have been able to join their Western colleagues in mutual research projects. Three published anthologies have incorporated papers from prior meetings, and the Tenth BUSSS will be the platform for a fourth. The book will be edited by Victor Mote and Bella Bychkova-Jordan and produced by Routledge/Curzon Press, a subsidiary of the Oxford-based Taylor & Francis Group in the UK.

英国大学西伯利亚研究研讨会（BUSSS）于1982年在英格兰兰开斯特成立，是世界上唯一一个专门致力于西伯利亚和俄罗斯远东地区专家智力发展的组织。它是一个国际性的多学科学术组织，到2004年已经召开了9次会议。第十届BUSSS计划于2004年4月7日至11日在德克萨斯州休斯顿举行，这是首次在英国或俄罗斯以外的地方举行会议。它将由来自9个不同国家的最多73名学者组成，其中包括：30名来自美国；俄罗斯11 - 22人；英国8人；德国5人；加拿大3名；澳大利亚2名；丹麦、意大利和荷兰各1人。60篇学术论文，从“有争议的环境空间”到“歌唱船的土地”的研究，将通过10个展板展示。五分之一的参与者将是地理学家或地球科学家。虽然第十届BUSSS将在概念上有所不同，但它不会没有一个基本主题。这将处理西伯利亚和俄罗斯远东这两个地球上人口最稀少的地区是否确实“人口过剩”的问题，正如布鲁金斯学会最近发表的一篇文章（西伯利亚的诅咒，2004年）中所论证的那样。BUSSS的国际性、多学科性质允许世界各地西伯利亚和远东专家的思想混合和交叉受精。迄今为止，在研讨会上建立的相互关系培养了整整一代西伯利亚专家。在过去的十几年里，越来越多的俄罗斯专家已经能够加入他们的西方同事共同研究项目。三本已出版的文集包含了以前会议的论文，第十届会议将成为第四次会议的平台。这本书将由维克多·莫特和贝拉·拜奇科娃-乔丹编辑，由劳特利奇/寇松出版社出版，该出版社是位于牛津的英国泰勒弗朗西斯集团的子公司。
