Contemporary Literature and Culture (University of Pittsburgh)

[N. Condee]

Graduate Study in Contemporary Russian Literature and Culture

 

The Slavic Department at the University of Pittsburgh invites applications
to our MA/PhD program in Russian literature and culture. While our
department provides a full range of courses, our focus on contemporary
studies has supported recent dissertations on such topics as Soviet
postmodernist culture, Russian feminist theory, the Soviet anekdot,
television serials, and Thaw cinema. All PhD recipients in the past ten
years have received academic job offers or prestigious post-doctoral
fellowships, including Princeton, University College London, Stanford
Humanities Center, William and Mary.

 

Graduate students obtain extensive training and mentoring; they participate
regularly in international conferences even at a relatively early stage.
They may also help organize the annual Russian Film Symposium
(http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu <http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu/> ); or edit and
publish the Department's journal, Studies in Slavic Cultures
(http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/sisc/).  Alongside their primary course of
study within the Department, graduate students also typically obtain MA or
PhD certificates in any of several interdepartmental programs: Cultural
Studies (http://www.pitt.edu/~cultural/), Film Studies 

(http://www.pitt.edu/~filmst/), Russian and East European Studies
(http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/crees/) and Women's Studies 

(http://www.pitt.edu/~wstudies/). By the time they receive their PhD, many
students will have obtained teaching experience in culture, cinema,
language, and literature courses in both team-taught and stand-alone

formats.

 

Financial aid (non-teaching fellowships and teaching assistantships) is
available to qualified applicants. The application deadline is 15 January
for full support consideration; applications will be accepted until 1
February. Applications must be submitted electronically at
https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=up-as.
