CCPS sabbatical series continues

Richard Jelier, professor and director of the School of Public, Nonprofit and Health Administration, will present his research from Moscow State University during the next CCPS Sabbatical Lunch and Learn Series.

Faculty members from the College of Community and Public Service are showcasing their research during a series of meetings in celebration of the college’s 10th anniversary.

Jelier’s presentation, “View from one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters: Moscow’s Transition from Communism to ‘Dollarocracy’ and the return of Holy Russia,” will take place December 3, from 11:45 a.m.-1:15 p.m. in the Bicycle Building, room 340.

In his presentation, Jelier will challenge many of the American stereotypes of Russians and Muscovites that were formed during decades of Cold War relations and the collapse of the Soviet Empire. Jelier taught an undergraduate course, conducted a seminar series for public administration doctoral students and presented a number of public lectures and conference presentations to and with Russians.
