We are a full service Slavic Department. Our programs cover a broad range of cultures and disciplines encompassing Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and South Slavic languages and cultures. Our research strengths include Russian literature and culture of the eighteenth century, the Golden Age (including Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy), the twentieth century (modernism and avant-garde, samizdat and socialist realism, émigré literature, film, and post-Soviet culture); Polish literature, theatre, and culture in the twentieth century; Ukrainian romanticism, realism, modernism, and contemporary culture; South Slavic literatures and culture (Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian); film studies, visual arts, theories of drama and performance; and Russian language pedagogy. For more details on the specialties of our faculty,  see http://sites.utoronto.ca/slavic/people/faculty/faculty_index.shtml.

   

Our research breadth allows students to combine different literatures and cultures in their studies. In addition, they may pursue collaborative programs with Jewish Studies and Transnational and Diaspora Studies and work with associated faculty at the Comparative Literature and History Departments as well as the Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies. The Jackman Humanities Institute provides another venue for collaboration across cultures and disciplines. The University of Toronto’s library system, ranked third in North America after Harvard and Yale, excels in the field of Slavic and Eastern European studies, providing bibliographic assistance and access to a vast range of print and digital resources.
