The Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (CSEEES) is opening a call for proposals for online curricular modules about a topic related to Eastern Europe and/or Eurasia. Proposals for two types of modules will be considered: introductory curricular modules on a country or culture not already covered in the CSEEES resources, and Graduate Student’s Guides to professional development topics. The intended audience for curricular modules is high school (grades 9-12) and/or community college students as self-study or a resource to supplement what they are learning in the classroom, as well as high school educators or community college faculty who could use the modules in class or as an assignment for students. The intended audience for Graduate Student’s Guides is advanced undergraduate and early graduate students. Modules should be self-contained units of instruction featuring information about the topic, relevant illustrations or graphics, and citations as needed. The modules will be posted as open-access materials on the CSEEES website. Developers should make use of freely available technology centrally supported and provided by The Ohio State University and/or technologies and computer programs readily available to the general public. 

Please see the CFP below for more detailed information on format, module examples, funding, and more.

CSEEES is requesting expressions of interest through March 2, 2026. Interested faculty or graduate students should email Emma Pratt at pratt.124@osu.edu outlining the following aspects of their proposal: 1) topic (approximately 200-300 words); 2) module format and resources needed; 3) who will be performing the work; and 4) estimate of hours required. The director of CSEEES and staff will then work to determine what topics seem most relevant to the scope of the project, that the module format is feasible, and that the proposed compensation aligns with Ohio State policy. Modules are expected to be completed by August 1, 2026.
