RUSS 007 - Navigating Russia: Practical Strategies for Living and Studying Abroad

HC ARHU CD
2 credits
Americans go abroad with a set of assumptions about Russia, but have little real sense of how Russians live, think, and communicate on a day-to-day basis: they see only the tip of the cultural ‘iceberg.’ This course provides a practical guide to navigating Russia?and avoiding unnecessary collisions?by exploring ‘submerged’ and overlooked aspects of Russian life: nonverbal communication patterns, unspoken norms about food, health, individualism, friendship, loyalty, etc. We will analyze a range of challenging communicative situations so students can develop their own strategies and survival techniques for living in Russia. Open to students at all levels. In English.
