Does anyone offer online Russian literature courses?

[Svetlana.Cheloukhina at QC.CUNY.EDU]

Dear Colleagues,
 
For a few years now, I have been teaching three undergraduate courses in Russian literature (in translation) at the Department of European Languages and Literatures, Queens College, CUNY:
 
- RUSS 155, Keys to Russian Literature;
- RUSS 245, Russian Short Story;
- RUSS 282, Chekhov.
 
I have also developed but not yet taught "Masterpieces of Russian Literature in Translation," and, together with two colleagues of mine, "Literature in Translation: European Short Stories and Fairy Tales, and Their Cinematic Adaptations."
 
Enrollments are always high; students are mostly from CUNY but sometimes - from other US/Canadian universities. I know of some of them being physically in California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Hong Kong, Canada, etc., while taking my online courses. For many, this is their first experience in reading Russian literature. For the heritage speakers, it is an opportunity to read and discuss in English what some of them have previously read in their native tongue. 
 
Both Queens College and CUNY have been very supportive in this undertaking. 
In my opinion, teaching Russian literature online is one of the best contemporary ways to promote understanding of Russia and its culture.
 
Best,

Dr. Svetlana V. Cheloukhina

Subject: [SEELANGS] Does anyone offer online Russian literature courses?

Does anyone know of a college or university in the U.S. that offers online undergraduate-level Russian literature courses? We just got a question about it recently, and while we don't do that, I was wondering if anyone else does?

Thank you
Jolanta
