California Slavic Colloquium at UC San Diego

This weekend, for the first time in history, UCSD will host the California Slavic Colloquium. I partook in this tradition as a graduate student, and then watched from the sidelines as our UCSD graduate students have presented their work to their peers from up and down the state. Props to Yuliya Ladygina for putting it all together this year. I am looking forward to this stimulating program in our own backyard:
























Update, April 16: Many thanks to all participants for their presentations, discussion, and presence this weekend. And thanks again to Yuliya Ladygina, who with James Shin led the group of California Slavicists in a post-conference intensive sandcastle workshop. (In the interest of Russian visual culture, I present the fruits of our collaboration.)
