Project Title
For a 2022 Assessment of the State of Russian Studies and Research in the United States
Date
Jun. 09, 2022
Duration
21 months
Description
A robust academic fieldof Russian studies in the United States is critical to understanding Russian behavior and strategy. However, support and interest in the field has waned since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, leading to reductions in U.S. academic expert capacity. Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) will undertake a study on the state of the Russian Area Studies field in the United States, as an update of their 2015 published study, also commissioned by the Corporation. The grant will result in a publishable report that would be disseminated through panels, briefings, and other outreach activities.

Project Title
For a data gathering project on the impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine on displaced Ukrainian and Russian academic communities
Date
Sep. 15, 2022
Duration
12 months
Description
Russia’s war on Ukraine has significantly impacted scholarly and scientific research communities in the two countries. By some estimates, thousands of Ukrainian scholars have been displaced due to the direct threat of the war, while many Russian scholars have left the country or plan to leave as the Russian government cracks down on those who express opposition to the invasion. The displacement and migration of scholars has raised fundamental questions about the state of these communities within and outside the affected countries. To get to some of these questions, more reliable data is needed about the scope of the problem. A new project to be administered by the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) will attempt to gather data on academic displacement and migration by looking into wherethe problem ismost acute in terms of geography and disciplines? Where are scholars moving? Do they view their current situation as temporary or more permanent? Which organizations and/or institutions are currently assisting, supporting, and hosting them? And what are the short- and long-term needs of these communities in Ukraine and Russia. The publicly available data will provide information to policy, scholarly, and philanthropic communities.

Date

Duration
56 months
Description
Russia has come to the forefront of the American political debate just as federal and university funding for the study of Russian politics, society, history, and language is being reduced. In order to promote the continued cultivation and dissemination of Russian area expertise in these challenging circumstances, the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies, with support from the Carnegie Corporation, will aim to bolster long-term support for research, dissertation completion, internships, scholarly exchange and collaboration, and opportunities to disseminate expert knowledge. In addition, the Corporation will support the Russian Scholar Travel Grant Program, which will bring Russian scholars to participate in the 2019 and 2020 annual ASEEES conventions.

Date
Jun. 01, 2017
Duration

Description
In the current political climate between the United States and Russia, promoting engagements between academics and specialists can help narrow some differences. The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), aimed at strengthening the study of this region in the United States, creates opportunities for Russian academics to establish relationships with their American colleagues. ASEEES’ main event is an annual convention, which represents the premier scholarly venue for the field. Corporation support will enable ASEEES to seek the participation of scholars from Russia by awarding sixteen travel grants for each of the 2017 and 2018 conventions. Priority will be given to junior scholars presenting research papers and those in need of travel support.
