Graduate Study in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Indiana University, Bloomington

[Ronald Feldstein]

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Indiana University,
in Bloomington, is pleased to invite prospective graduate students to
consider us for their applications for the 2005-6 academic year. We offer
the M.A. in Russian literature, Slavic linguistics, as well as a
multidisciplinary M.A. in language and areas studies, usually taken in
conjunction with a certificate in the Russian and East European Institute
of Indiana University. Our Ph.D. is offered in both Russian literature and
Slavic linguistics. Individuals can also follow independent specializations
in other Slavic literatures. Our official Graduate Bulletin description can
be found at http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/grad/sll.html.

In the field of Slavic linguistics, our faculty includes Steven Franks and
George Fowler in synchronic linguistics and Ronald Feldstein in diachronic.
Laurence Richter offers a specialized course in Russian Phonetics. Our
linguistics students often pursue double majors in both the Slavic
Department and the Indiana University Department of Linguistics.

In the field of Russian literature, Aaron Beaver, Henry Cooper, Andrew
Durkin, Dodona Kiziria, and Nina Perlina cover a variety of chronological
periods from Old Russian to contemporary Russian literature, as well as
many specialized author and genre courses. In addition to Russian
literature, we offer courses in South Slavic (Henry Cooper), Czech
(Professor Bronislava Volkova), and Polish literatures. Polish literature
is currently by a visiting professor, but we are now hiring a tenure-track
specialist in Polish language and literature.

During the regular academic year, we regularly offer 2-year and 3-year
sequences of Polish, Czech, Serbian/Croatian, and Romanian, in addition to
a 5-year sequence of Russian language. In the summer, we are the home of
the nationally known SWSEEL program, which offers the equivalent of six
years of training in Russian, plus a variety of other courses in Slavic and
non-Slavic languages of the region, under the direction of Jerzy Kolodziej
(see http://www.indiana.edu/~iuslavic/swseel/index.shtml).

Several different types of financial aid are offered, including FLAS
fellowships through the Russian and East European Institute (see
http://www.indiana.edu/~reeiweb/funding/acayr.htm), departmental
fellowships, and associate instructorships (teaching assistantships).
Associate instructors are offered a full program of pedagogical training in
the teaching of languages, under the supervision of our director of
language teaching, Jeffrey Holdeman. In addition to serving as associate
instructors, graduate students have the opportunity to be employed by
Slavica Publishers, which is housed in our department and directed by
George Fowler.

Any inquiries about graduate study in the Indiana University Department of
Slavic Languages and Literatures can be emailed to iuslavic at indiana.edu.
