EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

 

PhD in Slavic Linguistics, University of Washington, 1987

Dissertation:  Semantic Constraints on Aspectual Pairing in the Russian Verb.  My studies included 10 months of research conducted in the USSR during 1985-86 at Moscow State University and the University of Tbilisi, Georgia, sponsored by IREX and funded with a Fulbright Fellowship.

 

M.A. in Slavic Linguistics, University of Washington, 1983

 

B.A. in Russian, Area Certificate in East European Studies, Indiana University, 1980  

 

LANGUAGE SKILLS

 

Fluency:

   Native:  English

   Near native proficiency: Russian

   Basic communication skills: Slovak, Georgian, German, Croatian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mandarin Chinese (spoken only), and Ket (an endangered language spoken in Central Siberia) 

   Good linguistic knowledge of and limited fluency: Mongolian, Hawaiian, Cherokee, Navajo,  Lakhota,  Tlingit, Haida, Qazaq, Hungarian 

 

Family background included native speakers of Hungarian and Carpatho-Rusyn (a speech form transitional between Slovak and Ukrainian). 

 

Special interests: aboriginal languages, particularly small, endangered languages and linguistic isolates. My interest is worldwide, but with a special concentration on Siberia.  

 

I have also studied many other languages from genetically diverse families (not listed above) and am familiar enough with their basic linguistic data to use informed examples in my classes and in general research dealing with typological issues.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

 

      I have contributed regularly to the interdepartmental Linguistics Program, teaching basic General Education Requirements, as well as advanced courses and special topics.  I have also developed large lecture courses on Native Siberia and Inner Asia that have been combined to form a Minor in Eurasian Studies.  In addition, I have supervised dozens of student/faculty designed majors involving Russian studies.  To accommodate the needs of the student designed major, I have developed several new courses, including one on the structure of Russian and another on Russian culture.

      In 2002 I developed a minor in Eurasian Studies, consisting of the following courses, which I also teach: Eurasian Studies 201 (Introduction to Russian civilization), 210 (Introduction to Nomadic civilizations, 310 (The origins of Europe), 450 (Topics in Eurasian Studies).
