MA & PhD programs at New York University

The Department of Russian & Slavic Studies at New York University invites qualified students to apply to our interdisciplinary MA program and our PhD track, the Interdisciplinary Specialization in Russian (ISR). 

MA program

Curriculum: Typically completed in three semesters, our MA program encompasses a wide range of Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (REEES) courses originating both within the Department of Russian & Slavic Studies itself and in departments across NYU. In addition to our particular strengths in literature, history, and film, the course of study can encompass a wide variety of specializations—from gender studies to politics, from anthropology to music, et cetera.

Thanks to a focus on interdisciplinary and comparative methodologies and an active faculty devoted both to scholarship and to teaching/ advising, our program serves as excellent preparation for graduate study at the PhD level.

CFP: Philosophies of Gender and Sexuality in East-Central Europe

Deadline: December 13, 2024

While the study of gender and sexuality in East-Central Europe has recently become a politicized topic, its roots in the region are in fact rich and long-established. From Orthodox theological accounts of love as an active social force (and its subsequent influence on Slavophile notions of collective identity) through to twentieth-century Marxist efforts at reconciling libidinal and political economies, theories of gender and sexuality have played a pivotal role in the formation of the region’s intellectual history, including its cultural identity and political development. The theorization of gender and sexuality in East-Central Europe has in fact been so influential and established that its reach has often transcended the region and influenced global trends: for example, in the Central European roots of psychoanalysis, or in the pivotal role within the history of feminist thought of debates in Eastern Europe on women’s emancipation.
