AUIRC Summer Study Abroad
Walking Dostoyevsky’s Petersburg
Dates: 30 June - 11 July 2012
As part of American University’s Initiative for Russian Culture, Professor Anton Fedyashin will take ten students to Russia to visit the places where the famous Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky lived and worked and to walk the streets that his characters did. “Walking Dostoyevsky’s Petersburg” will be a 3-credit course open to all graduate and undergraduate students within the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Selection will be based on academic merit and the quality of application responses. During the trip, students will participate in a daily seminar on Crime and Punishment, which they will read before leaving for St. Petersburg. The course will culminate in a 10-page paper contextualizing the novel in the city’s history and layout.
