Oxford Nizami Ganjavi Centre
For the Study of the History, Languages, and Cultures of Azerbaijan, the Caucasus and Central Asia
Russian and Slavonic Research Seminar
This term the ONGC is co-hosting the Russian and Slavonic Research Seminar with the Sub-Faculty of Russian and Other Slavonic Languages.
As well as individual presentations, this term will include three conversations involving Oxford Russianists. These will not be academic papers or talks, but will instead allow graduate students, faculty members and others to gain an insight into the research and cultural activity carried out within the Sub-faculty and beyond, as well as offering an opportunity for everybody to discuss the state of the field and related questions. This new format will run throughout the year, alongside traditional seminar sessions.
