5th Graduate Dostoevsky Seminar

[Cynthia SImmons]

5th Graduate Dostoevsky Summer Program in St. Petersburg 2000
12 June - 21 July 2000

For the summer of 2000 the Department of Slavic & Eastern Languages at
Boston College is presenting its fifth graduate-level summer session on the
works and era of Dostoevsky at the Dostoevsky Museum in St. Petersburg
(Literaturno-memorial'nyj muzej F.M. Dostoevskogo) in conjunction with the
Institute of Russian Literature of the Academy of Sciences (Pushkinskij
dom).

The summer session is designed for post-AB American students with at least
three to four years of Russian-language study who are working on PhD or MA
degrees in Russian or Comparative Literature or who intend to enter such a
program.

Leading literary specialists from the Institute of Russian Literature of the
Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg University, the Gercen
Institute, and the Dostoevsky Museum conduct the courses and seminars for
the program and provide consultation on research and dissertation topics. A
team of faculty members from American and Russian universities coordinates
the program and supervises the academic offerings.

All lectures in the program are conducted in Russian. Assistants from the
Dostoevsky Museum work one-on-one with students to help them adjust to
Russian academic life and to access and get the most from the collections
and archives at the Museum, Pushkinskij Dom, and the Russian National
Library.

Housing is arranged with Russian families, usually with the staff of the
museum.
