America Engages Russia, Circa 1880-ca. 1930:
Studies in Cultural Interaction
A Summer Institute Funded by
The National Endowment for the Humanities
The New York Public Library
Sunday June 14 -Friday July 3, 2009
The Institute will bring together twenty-five university teaching
faculty, curators, and senior bibliographers with nationally-recognized
Session Leaders to consider, investigate, and reflect upon the
implications of the various forms of cultural engagement between the
United States and the Russian Empire/Soviet Union from the late 19th
century to the beginning of the 1930s. Over a period of three weeks,
daily sessions, discussions, field trips, and independent project
research will explore strategies for developing and implementing new
teaching and educational paradigms.
During the Institute, participants will have the opportunity to work
with many of North America's greatest repositories of Americana and
Slavic and East European materials, among them the NYPL and Columbia
University Libraries. In addition, the Co-Directors Edward Kasinec
(NYPL) and Robert Davis (Columbia) will assist participants in gaining
access to the myriad other museums and archives in the Greater New York
Metropolitan area.
