External Fellowships, Scholarships, and Grants

THE INTERDISCIPLINARY DOCTORAL SPECIALIZATION IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE, HISTORY, AND CULTURE (ISR)
Applications will be considered in Fall 2009 for study beginning in Fall 2010 with a five-year full-funding support package. Candidates should apply either through NYU's Department of Comparative Literature or through the History Department, specifying their interest in ISR.
ABOUT THE COURSE OF STUDY:
Students will have the option of earning the PhD in either Comparative Literature or History, thereby providing for a strong grounding within a discipline while also encouraging the kind of innovative work made possible by disciplinary cross-over. In addition to pursuing coursework in the chosen department, students will have the opportunity to take classes in the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies, including specially-designed interdisciplinary seminars. The curriculum will be structured to take advantage of intellectual resources for the study of Russia across NYU--not only in the Departments of Russian & Slavic Studies, History, and Comparative Literature, but also in Anthropology, Music, Politics, Hebrew and Judaic Studies, and others.
Our curriculum will allow graduate students in Comparative Literature and History to develop a coherent focus on Russia within their discipline of choice. We aim to encourage a broad understanding of the field, taking account of the various contexts in which Russia can be studied. With our faculty's expertise in cross-cultural literary comparison, the multi-national nature of the tsarist and Soviet empires, Eurasian studies, the role of ideology in the Russian experience, film and visual studies, cultural theory, and the very idea of "Eastern Europe," NYU will foster a flexible and expansive appreciation of Russian culture, as well as a wide sense of geographic context and comparison.
In addition to a broad range of courses and the opportunity to work closely with faculty, graduate students will benefit from a funded colloquium
bringing together Russia-focused scholars--faculty and PhD candidates from all disciplines--from across the greater New York area. Students will also
have full access to courses offered through the Inter-University Doctoral Consortium (Columbia University, CUNY, Princeton University, Rutgers
University, Stonybrook, Teachers' College - Columbia, Fordham University, and The New School for Social Research).
