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</div>

<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">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.</span></div>

<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt">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.</span></div>
