Introduction
For nearly two hundred years the countries of the Slavic
world have played an increasingly prominent role in international life, and have provided
our civilization with numerous writers, musicians, philosophers, religious and political
thinkers, and scientists of note. The richness of the Slavic cultures has a special
significance for Canada, since the vast influx of Slavs, which began in the last century,
has contributed greatly to the Canadian cultural mosaic.
The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures offers an
extensive range of courses in Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech and Slovak, Croatian,
Serbian, and Macedonian languages and literatures, as well as in Slavic linguistics.
Within this range there are courses suitable for inclusion in a wide variety of programs
of study, whether or not the student has studied any Slavic language previously. Some
students may specialize in Slavic Languages and Literatures, i.e. Russian, Polish or
Ukrainian (see Programs of Study). Others may simply wish to gain a working knowledge of
Russian or another Slavic language to aid their reading of important material in another
field. Language study emphasizes small instructional groups, with some laboratory or
conversational practice, and the use of literary materials.
Courses in the literatures and cultures of various Slavic
countries explore the artistic, intellectual, and social currents of their civilizations,
trace the literary history of each country, and examine the works of major authors. To
encourage an awareness of the significance and pertinence of Slavic literatures and
cultures, many of our courses are offered in translation.
The growing importance of Eastern Europe in contemporary
affairs has had the effect of making academic study of this area especially lively and
relevant. The student whose interest in the Russian or East European world is political,
historical, or sociological can specialize in Russian and East European Studies, or pursue
a course in Political Science, History, or Sociology, and at the same time take language
courses, and perhaps selected courses in literature, in this Department. Students planning
to specialize in Economics, Psychology, Mathematics, or any number of other fields, who
have a special interest in the Russian or East European area, will find an advanced
knowledge of Russian or of another Slavic language an important intellectual and
professional asset.
Students intending to take a Program offered by the
Department are asked to study carefully the Programs of Study and are urged to begin their
language training as soon as possible. A Departmental brochure is available on request.
