Mikhailovskoe Slavic Scholars is an innovative new program designed to meet the professional
development and language study needs of individuals who are pursuing a career in Slavic studies.
The program is intended for graduate students, junior faculty and recent PhDs who already possess
advanced level Russian language proficiency, but who are looking for additional intensive language
training and stimulating topics courses.  Through a rigorous 8-week program of advanced language
and literature courses, participants will work toward developing the professional-level Russian
language skills necessary to give professional papers and conduct literature and culture courses in
Russian. In addition to completing coursework (see below), participants will have an opportunity to
develop and deliver an academic lecture in Russian on a topic of their choice at a symposium at the
end of the program.

- Registers of Russian Philology: Syntax and Stylistics (Weeks 1-8)
- Пушкин в Михайловком (Pushkin v Mikhailovskom) (Weeks 1-2)
- Русский формализм и структурализм (Russkii formalizm i structuralizm) (Weeks 3-4)
