Overview

About the programme

The discipline of Russian and East European Studies constitutes a core group of the Cross-Disciplinary Russian and Eurasian Studies Network, which facilitates collaboration in research and postgraduate teaching and supervision among relevant members of staff across the Faculty of Humanities at The University of Manchester.

The Russian language and culture are also a significant focus of research undertaken by the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Communities consortium. Funded through the AHRC Open World Research Initiative and led by a Russian specialist at Manchester, the consortium aims to investigate the central role languages play in relation to key contemporary issues such as social cohesion, migration, business and diplomacy.

Programme Structure

19th and 20th-century literature and intellectual history;
Soviet and post-Soviet cinema and the media;
gender studies;

nationalism and ethnic politics historically and in the post-communist period;
post-communist transition in East Central Europe.
