The Handbook of Place-Based Pedagogies in Language and Culture Studies is envisioned as a scholarly volume which offers a comprehensive overview of the theories, methodologies, and applications of place-oriented frameworks in language and culture studies. It examines how educators and researchers incorporate spatial constructs, local environments, and community knowledge into pedagogical and scholarly practices across diverse disciplinary contexts. Emphasizing the significance of geographical, cultural, ethnographic, geopolitical, historical, and linguistic features of place, the handbook aims to deepen our understanding into spatial dimensions of cultures and languages and enrich language and culture learning, making it more engaging and relevant for students.

Call for Abstracts: The Life and Death of Cold War Funding

Deadline: July 1, 2025

Special Issue of The Russian Review

From Fulbright and IREX scholarships facilitating in-country immersion, to the Wilson Center’s efforts to connect academics and policymakers, to Title VI and Title VIII support for less commonly taught “critical” languages, funding programs that began in the Cold War shaped the field of Russian and Eastern European studies in enduring ways. These programs not only helped the US government “know its enemy” but also consolidated and institutionalized new fields of knowledge (“area studies”), trained experts in the United States, and developed a network of content-creators in the region. Despite its ideological partiality, this system of knowledge production helped soften hearts and minds on both sides of the so-called Iron Curtain. Though the original political impetus behind these programs ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union, many initiatives survived. Even after the Cold War they funded the continued creation of cross-cultural knowledge and expertise, training the next generation of American scholars, and bringing academics, writers, and other practitioners from the region to the West.
