Department of Russian: Records, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
The Russian Department offers a major consisting of ten courses and eleven for Honors. The courses include literature in translation, government, history, and economics. The department also participates in an interdisciplinary major in Eurasia and East European studies. Study abroad is highly encouraged by the department as way to obtain immersion in the culture and language of Siberian people. Advanced independent study and Honors are offered to students interested in pursuing a topic more closely.
