MA in Slavic Literatures and Languages in Stanford United States | Stanford University

The department provides doctoral programs focused on the literatures and cultures of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian regions, with a strong emphasis on Russian studies and faculty specialization in Ukrainian, Polish, and Yiddish literary traditions. Slavic core faculty bring diverse geographic, linguistic, and methodological perspectives to cultural studies, encompassing formal analysis, historical contexts, philosophical inquiry, memory studies, digital humanities, and linguistic anthropology. Slavic graduate students gain professional preparation in second language teaching methods and typically teach for five or more quarters, covering both literature and language courses. Language courses are conducted through the Stanford Language Center. Additional opportunities for teaching literature and culture arise through faculty collaborations, either as teaching assistants or co-instructors.
