Graduate study at the University of Washington

[James West]

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Washington-Seattle invites applications for its graduate programs leading to both the M.A. and Ph.D. degree.  UW faculty research interests range from 19th- and 20th-century Russian literature, film, art, philosophy, Russian-Jewish literature, and post-Soviet cultural studies to Slavic linguistics, Slavic literary translation, South and West Slavic literature and film, literature and culture of the Caucasus, and critical theory.  The department has 13 full-time faculty and several affiliate faculty.  In addition to Russian literature, film, cultural studies, linguistics, and Russian language and language pedagogy, our graduate program is one of the very few in the country to offer a wide range of courses in literatures and languages of other Slavic countries.  Regularly offered Slavic and former Soviet Empire language courses include Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Czech, Polish, Bulgarian, and Georgian, with other languages such as Romanian, Slovenian, and Ukrainian offered through special arrangement.  The department works closely with other departments and programs on campus, including History, Comparative Literature, Cinema Studies, Jewish Studies, Comparative History of Ideas, Disability Studies, the Baltic Studies Program, and is an integral part of the Title VI Russian, East European, and Central Asian Program (Ellison Center).
