Pitt PhD in Russian Literature and Culture (apologies for cross-posting)

[Nancy Condee]

Pitt Slavic invites applications to its program, which provides a full range
of courses, with an emphasis on Russian cultural studies.  The department
has supported recent dissertations on Soviet postmodernist culture, culture
of the Belomor Canal, post-Soviet philosophy, the Soviet anekdot, television
serials, and Thaw cinema. All PhD recipients in the past twelve years have
received academic job offers or prestigious post-doctoral fellowships,
including from Dickenson, Johns Hopkins, Miami University of Ohio,
Princeton, Stanford Humanities Center, University College London,
Vanderbilt, and William and Mary.

 

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

.       Cultural Studies (http://pitt.edu/~cultural/)

.       Film Studies (http://www.pitt.edu/~filmst/)

.       Russian and East European Studies (http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/crees/)

.       Women's Studies (http://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.  

 

A new PhD in Slavic/Film Studies offers an interdisciplinary and
interdepartmental degree that stresses the history, theory, and aesthetics
of international cinema, video, television, and new media.  While the
student will earn a PhD in Film Studies (granted by the Film Studies
Program), he or she will also be a full member of Slavic, fulfilling its
requirements (many of which will overlap).  Interested students should
submit applications simultaneously to Slavic and the Film Studies PhD
program at http://www.english.pitt.edu/graduate/phd_film.php.  

 

Financial aid (non-teaching fellowships and teaching assistantships) is
available to qualified applicants. Applications will be accepted until 1
February. Applications must be submitted electronically at
https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=up-as.  For more information about
academic programs, faculty, students, alumni, application procedures, and
