Affiliated Faculty

Faculty Spotlights

The Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies occasionally highlights its REEES-affiliated faculty. Here we have chosen two colleagues who have just joined the Slavic department as Lecturers.

Olga Klimova (Slavic) is the Director of Pitt's Russian Program. Olga's diverse professional and academic interests include visual and popular culture of the late-Soviet and post-Soviet periods, instructional technology, instructional design, online teaching and learning, and curriculum development.

Kathleen Manukyan (Slavic) is the Managing Director and Coordinator of Pitt's Summer Language Institute (SLI) and Coordinator of the SLI Russian Program. Her research interests are Russian Romanticism, phonetics, opera and dance, and Gogol. She lived in Moscow for two years, where she studied Russian language and music performance, and she still actively maintains a career in opera performance.
