Lynne Ikach, Professor of Russian, teaches a wide range of courses in Russian language and literature from 1800 to the present, and she advises the Russian studies major. She has also developed a number of Russian Web resources and teaches the course Language in Context which builds advanced language skills through contemporary sources such as on-line magazines and news sites, films, interviews, and letters. Her research focuses on autobiographical genres and how they function as both literature and history, and she is currently working on a project involving several Russian diaries from the 1930s.
