Deadline: April 4, 2022
Due to the way the field of Russian Studies has been affected by the war in Ukraine, the application deadline for the Monterey Summer Symposium on Russia (MSSR) is extended to April 4, 2022. The Monterey Summer Symposium on Russia will be held online from July 6 – 29.
We welcome applications from your graduate students. Advanced Russian language skills are required. English and Russian are the working languages of MSSR. The Monterey Symposium is funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York.
The MSSR 2022 curriculum is under revision now. It will include teaching modules on disinformation and manufacturing consent, the history of Ukraine, protest art, nationalism and radicalism, U.S.-Russia relations, Russian foreign policy, culture and mindset, NATO and Russia, regional conflicts, arms control and international security, and cyber security. It will feature a Harvard Negotiation Bootcamp on regional conflicts, an Oxford debate module and a module on making online/TV presentations. The curriculum will be taught by leading scholars, practitioners and journalists from the United States, Europe and Russia.
