Online Survey -- 20th-Century Russian Literature reading lists

[Donald Loewen]

Greetings.

I am researching the reading patterns for twentieth-century Russian/Soviet
literature in introductory-level courses at North American colleges and
universities.  I have sent survey materials to more than 200 institutions,
but there are a number of programs which have been missed because I was
working from a 2002 listing that included only institutions with official
Russian majors.  My own program, for example, was not listed because the
Russian major at Binghamton University is an individually tailored major
and does not appear on the "official" listing of majors..

If your program did not receive the survey materials, please contact me
off-list, and I will be glad to send them to you so that you can
participate.  To find out more about the survey details and procedures, or
to link to the online fillable survey form, please go to:
http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~djloewen/20th.html

To make sure that your response does not duplicate information already
received, you can see which institutions have already responded to the
survey here:  http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~djloewen/Survey%20Respondents.htm
(Note: some of the institutions listed were unable to provide complete
information due to incomplete data.  If you think that you may be able to
fill some of the gaps, please contact me off-list.)

Attention retired and emeritus professors:  one of the survey goals is to
study changes in reading patterns over time.  To do that, I have
established a ten year sample interval, beginning in 1982, continuing with
1992, and concluding with 2002.  Many institutions were unable to provide
data from 1982 or 1992, so if you have copies of your syllabi from those
years, your response will be very helpful.  Please e-mail me off-list if
you have any questions, and feel free to visit the above links to read more
about the survey or to see which institutions have responded.  (NOTE: the
listing includes every institution that responded; many were able to
provide only partial data, and some had no data available.   If you are not
sure whether your response is needed, please check with me off-list.)

Please do not use the Reply button, but contact me directly for additional
information or clarification:  djloewen at binghamton.edu

With best wishes to all for 2004,
