In Spring 2011 I taught this as an experimental course on “Finding Russian Conceptualism.” In Fall 2012, Fall 2013, and Fall 2014 I supervised two independent studies in nineteenth-century Russian literature. In Spring 2014, I supervised an independent study in twentieth-century prose writers. In Spring 2015, I supervised an independent study in Stalinist political rhetoric and served as committee member for an M.Ed. candidate in the College of Education. In Fall 2015, I supervised a graduate project in Political Science and helped supervise a graduate research project in international educational lexical items. In Spring 2016, I helped supervise a senior thesis for the IR-MLL joint major, supervised the Russian-language research for a graduate thesis in Political Science, and served as committee member for a Ph.D. proposal in the College of Education. My new course, cross-listed with Global Studies, on “The Global Workplace: Preparing to Work around the World” helps students develop and maintain global competence. Students read short stories about work in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and the United States, while developing expertise in critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and analytical research. Students create digital portfolios to demonstrate their sustained global commitment and their growing abilities to thrive in today’s global workplace. RESEARCH ADVISINGI am the Russian advisor for students in the joint MLL-IR program, which I was instrumental in establishing. I served as the major advisor for Russian Studies from 1997 to 2008. I have been the advisor for Russian language minors and the Russian Club since 1994. I established a local Lehigh chapter of the Slavic Honorary Society, Dobro Slovo, in 1990 and have inducted over 85 members into the chapter.Undergraduate and graduate advising:Spring 2017: Marina Kudasova (Graduate, Education), Nadezhda Bogdanova (Fulbright Graduate Teaching Fellow AY 16-17)Fall 2016: Marina Kudasova (Graduate, Education), Nadezhda Bogdanova (Fulbright Graduate Teaching Fellow AY 16-17)Spring 2016: Adriana Vukmanic, Elizabeth Gross (Graduate, Political Science), Marina Kudasova (Graduate, Education), Nataliia Selezneva (Fulbright Graduate Teaching Fellow AY 15-16)Fall 2015: Elizabeth Gross (Graduate, Political Science), Siri Sollerud (Graduate, Education), Adriana Vukmanic, Nataliia Selezneva (Fulbright Graduate Teaching Fellow, AY 15-16)Spring 2015: Benjamin Mattern, Adriana Vukmanic, Viktoriia Brezheniuk (Graduate, Education)Fall 2014: Aleksandra Popova, Adriana Vukmanic, Benjamin Mattern, Sonia Kunz, Svetlana Dorofeeva (Fulbright Graduate Teaching Fellow, AY 14-15)Spring 2014: Aleksandra Popova, Adriana Vukmanic, Benjamin Mattern, Siri SollerudFall 2013: Ksenia Bosina, Adriana Vukmanic, Benjamin Mattern, Siri SollerudFall 2012: Daria Okhrimtchouk, winner of Williams Prize (2013), Academic Symposium (2011)Spring 2012: William Murawski (Eckardt Scholar, Lemmon Prize, 2012), Elizabeth Shannon (Eckardt Scholar), Nicholas Davis, Michael Mead (Graduate, Education)Fall 2011: William Murawski (Eckardt Scholar), Elizabeth Shannon (Eckardt Scholar), Daria Okhrimtchouk (Williams Prize, 2011)Course and Curriculum DevelopmentI have been active in curriculum development for offerings in Russian language, literature, and culture, Russian Studies, and the MLL department as a whole.

My student William Murawski, one of two students I mentored for the Eckardt Scholars program, won the 2012 Lemmon Prize for exceptional research. In Spring 2015 I co-supervised Benjamin Mattern’s senior IR-MLL thesis “Eliminating the Fifth Column: An Analysis of the NKVD and Stalinist Repression 1934-38.” My Russian teaching aide, Siri Sollerud, was awarded a Presidential Scholarship for outstanding academic performance to pursue a master’s degree in international education, which she received in Fall 2016.
