Irrigation Water in Central Asia - Market or Distribution?
Join the IAUNRC for the kickoff of our Environments in 21st Century Central Eurasia lecture series!
Indiana’s REEI is recognized as one of the top Russian and East European Area Studies institutions in the United States, and we have been a continuously-funded U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource/FLAS Center for more than sixty years. As an innovative hub of training and expertise on Russia and Eastern Europe, our mission is to expose a range of students with diverse career goals to the languages, cultures, and politics of the REEI region by supporting research and instruction of the highest caliber at all levels. REEI alumni are living and working across the globe, confirming Kurt Vonnegut’s famous line, “I don’t know what it is about Hoosiers. But wherever you go there is always a Hoosier doing something very important there.” We are proud of our vibrant REEI alumni network, a valuable resource of expertise, networks, and advice for generations of REEI graduates.
REEI offers a wide variety of programming, including lectures by affiliated faculty and visiting scholars, roundtables and symposia devoted to timely themes, and others. One unique REEI feature is the “O россии по-русски” (“On Russia in Russian”) lecture series, which offers Russian-language lectures by native speakers on a variety of topics. We collaborate with other area studies centers in the Hamilton Lugar School and units across campus to develop and co-sponsor events of interest to IU students, faculty, and the community at large. REEI works closely with the IU Ukrainian Studies Organization to promote Ukrainian studies and language study at IU.
