CamCREES events 2013-14

 

Over the course of the 2013-14 academic year, CamCREES organised a series of seminars and gatherings oriented on the theme of 'New Interdisciplinary Approaches'. Our Michaelmas 2013 programme, generously supported by a grant from CEELBAS, focused on trends old and new in the study of nineteenth-century Russian literature. Our Lent 2014 programme featured a series of informal roundtables on research across languages and disciplines as well as public lectures on Islamic militancy in Central Asia and on the poetry of Taras Shevchenko, whose bicentennial was celebrated in 2013-14.
