Study Eurasia from 1683 to 1913:
Diplomacy, Demography,
Dostoevsky
Slavic Studies engages students in the history of Eurasia, a region where conflicts over
nationalism, religion, and state modernization efforts played out more often than
anywhere else in Europe from 1683 to 1913. Culturally, the course engages the heights
of the Slavic output in the 19th century, including Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chopin, as well
as the rich popular culture of folklore. Slavic Studies simulates the conflict and diplomacy
among imperial states and national movements that changed Slavs’ presence on the
map of Europe. The course will make connections where themes continue to resonate in
national cultures and politics in the 21st century.

TR 12:30-1:45 p.m.
Get on the bus, if you need an advanced U.S. history course to complete your
major, or just an advanced elective to fulfill your degree requirements! We’ll have
a groovy thing going on in Tidwell this fall that you might find relevant. Students
from a previous time this course was taught participated in the annual Baylor
Homecoming Parade (pictured above) and won the Noze Brotherhood’s “Best Use
of a Non-Baylor Theme” Award.
Lectures, readings, and rap sessions will focus on four major topics—(1)
national politics; (2) movements for social justice; (3) foreign policy; and (4) the
counterculture—and will be supplemented by documentary video and movie
footage as well as lots of music both live and recorded. Hey, Jude, don’t be afraid!
Come on and “let the sun shine in.” Who knows—you might even find yourself
sitting next to “Sunshine Superman” or “the girl with kaleidoscope eyes.”
