The department is immensely proud to congratulate two Slavic students for successfully defending their dissertations and earning their doctoral degrees!
Ani Abrahamyan defended her dissertation entitled “Ethnographies of Transgression: Outlawed Communities in Imperial Russia (1856-1882)” on May 20, 2024. Congratulations to her and kudos to her lead advisor Elizabeth Geballe.
Five days earlier on May 15, Rebecca Cravens defended her dissertation “In Various Planes of Time: Connections Between Time Travel and Narrative Framing in Russian Modernism”. Congratulations to Rebecca, whose advisor was Jacob Emery.
We rejoice in the success of our two students, now our junior colleagues, and we wish them every bit of success in pursuing careers in our field, which they both richly deserve.
