S-Diss. Research Sem

An overview of the state of each par-ticipant's research, to familiarize members with the problems and possibilities of a doctoral dissertation in Comparative Literature. The group's composition determines the nature of invitations to potential guests, or the decision to concentrate on its own members' discussions, with topics including: preparation for paper presentations at academic conferences, potential openings for positions at colleges and universities, and opportunities for funding for fellowships, grants, and post-doctoral research.

S-Russia in America

The seminar will explore the cultural/artistic contribution of the Russian emigration to contemporary American (and by extension, to modern Western, primarily European) culture from the early twentieth century to our own days. Although the greatest names (Nabokov, Brodsky, Solzhenitsyn, Stravinsky, Balanchine, Kandinsky, Chagall, and others) will be highlighted, an effort will be made to discover many lesser known Russian artists who lived in the West and made significant contributions in various areas (such as music, dance, design).
