Kindly post the following:

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign currently offers courses of study leading to
Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures. Our program offers
opportunities for cultural and interdisciplinary studies and study in more
than one Slavic language and literature. The faculty specialize in 18th &
19th Russian literary history, film and visual culture, Czech and Polish
modernism, Jewish Studies, Soviet and post-Soviet culture, as well as
specific authors. 

In addition to a specialization in Russian, we also offer concentrations in
Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian, Bulgarian, and
Yiddish. The Department maintains close ties with other campus units,
including the federally funded Russian, Eurasian and East European Center;
the Unit for Criticism & Interpretive Theory; the Department of Gender &
Women's Studies; the College of Media; and the Program in Jewish Culture and
Society. Students are encouraged to receive a graduate minor or certificate
from one of these units, or to create an individual minor. 

The University of Illinois library and its Slavic collection is the third
largest in the country, and is a unique resource that attracts scholars from
all over the world with its Summer Lab and other events. The Slavic
Reference Service provides students and faculty with superb research
assistance. 

The Department has a vibrant atmosphere enhanced by the international
character of the graduate student body. The Russian Studies Circle
(kruzhok), now in its 10th year, brings together faculty and graduate
students working on Russian literature, culture, history, anthropology, and
the visual arts, for informal discussions of works-in-progress, recently
published books, and works by authors visiting the UIUC campus. Past guests
include Svetlana Boym, Sheila Fitzpatrick, Alexei Yurchak, and Cathy Popkin,
among others. Our annual Graduate Student Conference gives students an
opportunity to share their work with faculty and students from UIUC and
beyond. 

Financial aid is available to qualified students, who may receive five-year
packages of support, including fellowships, Research and Teaching
Assistantships.
