Graduate Study in Russian Literature and Cultural Studies (U of Pittsburgh)

[N. Condee]

Graduate Study in Contemporary Russian Literature and Culture

 

The University of Pittsburgh Slavic Department invites applications to our
MA/PhD program in Russian literature and culture. Our department provides a
full range of courses; recent dissertations include such topics as Soviet
postmodernist culture, culture of the Belomor Canal, post-Soviet philosophy,
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 at Princeton,
University College London, Stanford Humanities Center, William and Mary,
Dickenson and a dual appointment at Goucher-Johns Hopkins.

 

Graduate students obtain extensive training and mentoring; they participate
regularly in international conferences even at a relatively early stage.
They may also help to organize the annual Russian Film Symposium
(http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu/2010/); 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
