Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies
The study of Russia, Eurasia, and East-Central Europe is fundamental in today’s world. Solutions to many geopolitical and environmental crises require nuanced understanding of the countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire. Wesleyan’s REES Department is unique among its peers in its impressive interdisciplinary makeup: The REES faculty specialize in literature, history, politics, music, cinema, art, dance, and religion. In addition to Russian, the REES faculty speak Ukrainian, Buryat, Tatar, and Kazakh languages. Most REES courses are taught in English and are designed for majors and non-majors alike. Our graduates have gone on to careers in research and cultural analysis, education, law, artistic production, diplomacy and public service, business, and communication.
