[Pols-announce] Forwarding CREES Events and brief updates..

Fri Sep 25 09:38:39 CDT 2020

Hope all are well and have a nice weekend.  The Spring 2021 schedule went live yesterday.  There is still time for more additions and changes, but students can begin to start thinking and getting advising.   Below are upcoming events CREES is having, including a presentation from recent POLS PhD grad, Steven Mutz on Tuesday.  It might also be good to remind any undergrad classes that on Monday (4pm) there is an online meeting about Spring semester Topeka and Washington D.C internships, many which I imagine will be remote work this year. More details at the calendar on our website and on social media.  Best, Linda

Dr. Steven Mutz (Metropolitan Community College and Highland Community College) will present his winning essay in the graduate category in the CREES Laird Essay Contest 2020, titled “Back to a Future USSR: Worth the Cost?” as part of the CREES Research Series. In 2014, Russia-backed rebels in the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) declared independence from Ukraine. Separatists took over media outlets and began to disseminate propaganda that focused heavily on war-related themes and new national symbols.

Online Event

Prof. Anne Lounsbery (New York University) will deliver a lecture titled “On Teaching American Students how ‘Race’ Works in Russia” in the Russia and Race Lecture Series, co-sponsored by the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Languages, College of Arts and Sciences, Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, and African and African-American Studies.
Abstract: This talk will address the challenges I've encountered in the American classroom while teaching how "race" functions in Russia. What do we and our students learn by examining how Russian's racial categorizations are both like and unlike those in U.S. society? What are the advantages and the dangers of such comparisons?

Thursday, October 8, 4:00-5:30 p.m.

Online Event

Prof. Anika Walke (Washington University in St. Louis) will deliver a lecture titled “Was Soviet Internationalism Anti-Racist? Toward a History of Foreign Others in the USSR” as part of the Russia and Race Lecture Series, co-sponsored by the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Languages, College of Arts and Sciences, Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, and African and African-American Studies.
Abstract: Beginning in 1958 and until the late 1980s, students from the so-called “developing countries” studied in Soviet universities—in Moscow and Leningrad, as well as in Tashkent and Kharkov. These students benefited from the Soviet government’s ambitions to expand its influence in the new independent post-colonial states, but also experienced difficulties in everyday life in Soviet society. Clashes took place due to a lack of resources and equipment, the privileges of foreign students that distinguished them from the ranks of their Soviet peers, social control in dormitories and classrooms, and political disputes. This talk uses the experiences of foreign students in the USSR to analyze the potential and failure of internationalism to challenge racist ideology and practices.
