The Russian Elections - Seminar Abroad

[Josh Wilson]

Dear Seelangers! 

I thought you or your students might be interested in this new program
abroad. If you have any questions on this, please don't hesitate to contact
me! 

Russian Studies Seminar: The Russian Elections is an intensive four-week
course detailing the social forces shaping Russia's political scene and how
politics may impact Russian society after the elections of 2011 and 2012.

What issues resonate with Russian voters? Who are Russia's major political
parties and what are their stances on these issues? How does Russia's
government work and what impact does it have on Russia's economy? What is
the role of the media in Russian society and Russian politics? How will the
results of the latest Duma and Presidential elections likely affect Russian
politics, society, and the economy?

By combining lectures and readings, an intensive schedule of professional
and cultural site visits, and discussions with local Russians, this seminar
seeks to give students a wider, fuller, first-hand perspective on Russia to
help prepare them for future careers in government, business, or academia.
