Center for Russian and East European Studies, University of Pittsburgh

The Center for Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pittsburgh (REES) is an interdisciplinary academic center focusing on central and eastern Europe and the successor states of the Soviet Union. REES is a Title VI National Resource Center funded by the U.S. Department of Education, and as such plays a vital role in fostering scholarship and teaching on this dynamic region. REES faculty come not only from the humanities and social science disciplines that are the traditional academic homes of area studies scholarship, but also from the professional schools such as business, law, education, public health, and public and international affairs. REES provides support for faculty and student research in the region, including undergraduate research.
