Statement in Response to the Mass Shooting at the Philosophical Faculty in Prague on December 21, 2023

Dear CSA members, 

I am writing, on behalf of CSA board, to tell our friends and colleagues in the Czech Republic that we are thinking of you.

We would also like to express our heartfelt condolences to those who lost loved ones during this horrific event. We wish that those injured, both physically and psychologically, will find strength in the coming days. There is so much more to be said, yet words fail me at this moment. 

May you all find peace and hope in the new year,

Chad Bryant 

President, Czechoslovak Studies Association
