The Washington DC area is a major magnet for Russian History and East European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies in the United States and the Georgetown University History Department is at its epicenter. Our location in the capital might seem to imply only a contemporary orientation. In fact, Georgetown is one of the few departments of history in the U.S. with comprehensive strengths in the Muscovite, Imperial, and Soviet periods of Russian History, as well as a strong focus on the early modern Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Georgetown is the home of a major journal in the field, Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History, which offers graduate students the rare opportunity to serve as editorial assistants and learn about scholarly publishing from the inside. To listen to Professor David-Fox's interview on the New Books in History Network regarding his showcasing the Great Experiment please click here. All of us are deeply committed to graduate mentoring, and graduate students quickly become a part of our vibrant community. The History Department takes language study very seriously. Colloquia (reading, written reports, interpretation, discussion) and research seminars are conducted using primary and secondary sources in the relevant original languages. Distinguished graduate students, the Davis Fellows, have the opportunity to offer small upper-level undergraduate classes in their field of study. Our PhDs have published books with major presses and articles in influential journals. The Russian and East Central European field is honored to announce the creation of the Jacques Rossi Gulag Research Fund, which starting in 2012-2013 will support conferences, speakers, and grants to students pursuing research projects related to the history of the Gulag in the Soviet Union. The Richard Stites Memorial Lecture Series is founded as a living memorial to Richard Stites (1931-2010), a giant in the field of Russian history who taught at Georgetown from 1977 until his death. Every other year a distinguished scholar will deliver the lecture to celebrate scholarship in the tradition of Richard Stites in the fields of history, Russian studies, cultural history, and the history of popular culture. Georgetown University's Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, founded in 1959, is a U.S. Department of Education Title VI funded National Resource Center. CERES provides a library, lectures, luncheon discussions, and numerous contacts with internationally known scholars in several disciplines: literature, culture, economics, and politics of the broad post-Communist world. The language departments offer courses in Russian, Polish, Turkish, Persian, and Ukrainian (as well as French, German, Latin, and others). Washington, DC has become one of the premier centers of Russian Studies in the United States. Georgetown hosts the Russian History Seminar of Washington DC, which brings together scholars and graduate students in fields related to Russian, Soviet, and Eurasian history and culture. Created in spring 2004, and drawing regular participants from around the region, the Russian History Seminar has rapidly become one of the most dynamic gatherings of its kind in the country. In addition to Georgetown University's faculty across many disciplines in Russian and East European Studies and its own library resources, the Washington, DC location affords students the opportunity to conduct research in the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and the Holocaust Museum Library and Holocaust Museum archival collections, all of which house sources. The Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies of the Wilson Center regularly holds symposia and lectures by distinguished scholars and policy figures on matters pertaining to the area.
