CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT and INNOVATION

Developed new courses: ‘A historical survey of Russian music’ ‘Dmitrii Shostakovich. The Man, his Music, and his Times’.

A study of the life and music of Dmitrii Shostakovich, and of the nexus between politics, culture, and the integrity of the creative individual.

‘Russia and its World’ and ‘Russia in the Twentieth Century’An interdisciplinary survey of Russian history and culture in two semesters, from historical origins through the twentieth century. Extensive media materials incorporated into class presentations and web-based notes.

‘The Polish Experience’ and ‘Poland Now’A two-semester sequence of interdiscliplinary surveys of Polish history and culture from their beginnings through the present. Extensive media materials incorporated into class presentations and web-based notes.

‘Word Order and Intonation’This course focused on four inter-related aspects of the Russian sentence: word order, information structure (new versus old information), syntax (structure of the sentence), and intonation. The approach was primarily practical and focused on authentic materials, along with theoretical background. Students developed independent projects and reported on them in formal class presentations. http://www.utexas.edu/courses/slavling/rus369/.

‘Proseminar in Slavic Studies’Obligatory course for all first-semester graduate students in our program.

Planned, organized, and supervised (with David J. Eaton, Professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs) an interdiscplinary study/research program in Cracow, Poland: Summer 1986 semester.

Eighteen students were recruited nation-wide to participate in this unique nine-week program, for which they received credit for 2-3 courses. All arrangements were negotiated directly by us with two universities in Cracow (Jagiellonian University and the Technical University of Cracow).

Prepared cycles of review lectures on Russian grammar for high school Russian teachers, as part of a summer interdisciplinary In-Service institute: 1 week in 1985, 2 weeks in 1987.

Introduced Polish Studies into the departmental curriculum. Initiated Polish language instruction at the University on a regular, bi-annual basis. Designed and taught a series of interdisciplinary upper division courses in Polish history and culture. Regular consultant and guest speaker at outreach events conducted by the Austin Polish Society. Organized extra-curricular activities and took responsibility for acquiring teaching and research

materials in the area; invited numerous Polish cultural figures to campus, including the poets Czesław Miłosz and Adam Zagajewski, the critic Wojciech Karpiński, and the historian Norman Davies.

Assembled documentary videotapes to be used in homework assignments and prepared a collection of Polish Historical Songs and Melodies, with texts, recordings, and commentary.

Administer and evaluate credit-by-examination tests for Polish every semester. Developed a Web page promoting Polish studies at UT Austin Spoke (by invitation) before the annual board meeting (January 1986) and annual convention

(November 1986) of the Polish American Congress of Texas. Raised funds from various sources to support the departmental program in Polish studies.
