Russian Area Studies

[Meredig, John]

While we're on the subject, how about "interdisciplinary studies" (God,
what'll they think of next! It reminds me of Homer Simpson's award for
the Greatest Achievement in Excellence). A couple years ago I asked this
list for suggestions concerning the major "creative writing," and the
consensus was that it would probably be best to stick to the very
literal "tvorcheskoe pis'mo." Perhaps we could compile of list of those
wacky American majors that don't exist in Russian, per se. Any other
problematic ones out there?

Spasibo!

Subject: [SEELANGS] Russian Area Studies

Dear friends on the list,

My students and I are in chapter 1 of the textbook V Puti, now
discussing
the subject of majors.  One of the students is majoring in Russian Area
Studies.  Katzner's dictionary gives area studies as "stranovedenie".
Are
there any other ways to express Russian Area Studies I should know
about?
(Obviously he would like to know how to express his own major.)  Thanks
in
advance!

Sincerely,
Charles
