New Blog for Minority Students in the Former Soviet Union

[Emily Wang]

Dear SEELANGers,

The Association for Students and Teachers of Color in Slavic Studies and
SRAS have been working on a project that will hopefully help meet a need
some of you have discussed on this listserv: providing resources for
minority students/students of color thinking about studying abroad.

Rather than provide generalized advice for everyone, this blog gives
individuals a chance to discuss their (positive and negative) experiences
and offer their own suggestions for student travelers. Since this issue is
so personal, and since folks can have vastly different experiences
depending on a variety of circumstances, including location, we thought
this would be a good starting point for those interested in learning what
their trip abroad might be like.

That said, there are still a lot of perspectives not yet represented!
Please feel free to share this not only with your current and future
students but also with past ones -- if any of them would care to contribute
their own post, we'd be happy to add it. Just get in touch with me (
eawang at princeton.edu) or SRAS. And while our focus so far has been on
students of color and ethnic minorities, SRAS is interested in including
the perspectives of LGBT students as well -- though this issue is obviously
changing more rapidly.
