question #2

[June P. Farris]

Dear Susanne,

The winter issue of SLAVIC REVIEW has an annual column entitled "Doctoral Dissertations".
For example, v. 70, no. 4 (Winter 2011) contains "Doctoral Dissertations 2010"  (pp. 959-976).  The dissertations are listed first by country/region covered and then by subject.

These Slavic Review lists go back many decades.  Jesse Dossick, the original compiler, also published 2 separate volumes, collating all of the dissertations listed in Slavic Review for Russia/Soviet Union through 1975.

Dossick, Jesse. Doctoral Research on Russia and the Soviet Union, 1960-1975. NY: Garland, 1976.
Dossick, Jesse. Doctoral Research on Russia and the Soviet Union. NY: NYU Press, 1960.


Best,
June

Subject: [SEELANGS] Two Dumb Questions

Dear colleagues,

I have two unrelated and possibly naive questions.  You can reply to me offlist at sfusso at wesleyan.edu.

1.  What have you found to be the best textbooks for second- and third-year Russian?  For second year, I'm particularly interested in texts that provide solid explanations of and drills for basic grammar and syntax.  I'm not so interested in bells and whistles.

2.  Is there a listing anywhere of recent Ph.D.'s in Slavic studies (encompassing not just literature but other disciplines)?  I cannot find anything on the ASEEES or AATSEEL websites, and the only recourse seems to be a laborious search through Dissertation Abstracts, which I'm not sure is capturing everything.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,

Susanne
