Thirteen faculty members across five colleges have been awarded grants to conduct research that aligns with the engagement missions of Ohio State’s five Area Studies Centers and their respective regions of the world. Over the 2023-24 academic year, the faculty awardees will work on projects directly connected to Africa, East Asia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia, Latin America and the Middle East.

The Faculty Research, Teaching and Outreach Grant, which is supported by the Office of International Affairs and the Area Studies Centers, was initiated to advance research and scholarship across a variety of disciplines and fields of interest. The Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies is delighted that two of our affiliate faculty members are among the awardees. 

• Theodora Dragostinova, Department of History, “The Repatriation of Children in the Post-1918 Balkans," Eastern Europe/Balkans, Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies
• Matthew Johnson, Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, “Yiddish Archival Sources and the Holocaust,” Eastern Europe, Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies
