Research

Slavic Studies faculty and students are actively engaged in scholarly research, and regularly present their work in on-campus forums and at national conferences.

Andrea Lanoux, Chair of Slavic Studies, and Nathaniel Pope '12, spent much of July 2010 in St. Petersburg conducting research for a co-authored article on illustrations in Russian children’s books. Here is Nate (Лева) hard at work in Russia.

Pope received a ConnSSHARP award to accompany Lanoux on a research trip to Russia to assist her in gathering materials for a new book on post-Soviet children's literature

Slavic Studies majors are encouraged to write honors theses or senior independent projects in their senior year. 

Susana Hancock's honors thesis, "Gravestone Carvings: A Venerate Medium of the Intellectual and Spiritual Life of Seventeenth-Century New England" (2007), was nominated for the College's prestigious Ames Prize for the year's best honors thesis.

Katherine Avgerinos '06 published her senior independent project, "From Vixen to Victim: The Sensationalization and Normalization of Prostitution in Post-Soviet Russia," in the SRAS online journal shortly after graduating from Connecticut College
