Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures

The Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures (REALC) is a vibrantly interdisciplinary community of scholar-teachers dedicated to the study of languages and cultures in the vast geographic continuum from Eastern Europe through Eastern Asia. REALC is home to programs on Russia China, Japan, and Korea; and the department serves as hub for interdepartmental programs in East Asian Studies (EAS) and in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (REEES). REALC’s programming offers valuable insight into the complexities of the 21st century. Departmental offerings challenge students to question assumptions about East-West binaries, and to explore human thought and experience through the lens of the global region. Our courses include the study of languages in socio-cultural context, and study of cultures as sites of artistic expression, history, politics, philosophy, religion, and societal resistance and transformation. We offer introductory through advanced language classes in Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean as well as an array of creative courses taught in English for non-majors as well as majors. The department sponsors exciting study abroad programs, internships, and research opportunities including Honors. Along with EAS and REEES, REALC collaborates with other departments and programs, including Linguistics, Comparative Literature, History, Art History, Film and Media Studies, Interdisciplinary Studies, Women's Gender & Sexualities Studies, Theater, Music, and Religion. REALC courses are recommended for students interested in the humanities and social sciences as well as business, and natural/computer sciences. As networks become more transnational and globalized, employers increasingly consider language and multicultural training to be key assets. REALC offers students a supportive and inclusive environment for learning, and courses are complemented by a diverse range of special events and activities. Our students go on to international careers, to graduate studies, or to programs in law, business, public health, or medicine.
