The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) and its Russian Studies Program (RSP) are pleased to announce an 11-day professional development opportunity for faculty and staff:
"Religion, Politics and Freedom in Contemporary Russia"
Russia will have a newly elected legislative body and a new president by May 2008, and the international media is predicting an interesting shift in Russian politics. Why not come and experience this mysterious country for yourself? Delve into the contemporary political scene and explore issues related to religion, media, freedom, and the upcoming elections. Get a different flavor of the news by hearing daily updates from Russian newspapers and television.
This study tour will attempt to reflect a student’s experience on the Russian Studies Program, while also providing insight into what it means to be Russian today—primarily through the lenses of politics and religion. Participation is open to CCCU faculty and staff who work with students interested in off-campus study.
