The Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (CSEEES) seeks to support the development of new, interdisciplinary courses that address topics and issues related to international or national security in Eastern Europe and Eurasia at The Ohio State University. In particular, CSEEES wishes to support courses at the 4000- or 5000-level that will be geared towards upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and/or professional students, including MA students in Slavic, East European and Eurasian studies. Potential topics should address national and international security broadly defined, meaning that courses do not need to be restricted to the social sciences. For example, a course could address questions related to climate change, language change and adaptations, migration, cross-border public health crises and responses, food security, or economic interdependence, and be housed in any division within the College of Arts and Sciences or another college or school within the university. At least 25% of required course readings, lectures, other content, or assignments as outlined in the syllabus must specifically focus on Eastern Europe and/or Eurasia to be eligible for support. Comparative courses that aim to explore a topic across regions are welcome as long as this minimum area studies threshold is reached.

Faculty who wish to apply should submit a complete application to Emma Pratt (pratt.124@osu.edu) by Friday, December 2.
