The Master of Arts in Regional Studies—Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia (REECA) is a two-year program that offers advanced training in the history, politics, culture, society, and languages of this region.
We are the only dedicated Georgia program at a U.S. university, advancing the study of Georgia, the South Caucasus, and the Black Sea region through research, teaching, scholarly and cultural exchanges, and outreach.
This webinar offers history and social studies teachers practical, classroom-ready ways to work with Cold War primary sources in a short professional learning session.
Join us to hear Joseph Torigian tell the life story of Xi Zhongxun, a man who spent his entire life struggling to balance his own feelings with the Party's demands.
Join us for the talk examining Soviet historical novels about Genghis Khan by Vasily Yan and Aleksei Kalashnikov as a site of ideological struggle over the meaning of the Mongol conquest and its place in Central Asian history.
The talk shows how late Soviet claims of cultural equality masked a Russocentric canon-making regime and how Georgian writers and critics both enabled and resisted it through competing strategies of universality and national self-assertion.
