The Slavic Department invites you to join us in extending a heartfelt and well-deserved congratulations to two of our faculty members today, Dr. Alisa Lin and Dr. Philip Tuxbury-Gleissner on their promotion to Full Tenured Associate Professor!

Dr. Lin and Dr. Tuxbury-Gleisnner continually demonstrate their passion and expertise in this field and we express our deepest gratitude to them for their persistent hard work. 

The Department prides itself on having the best and brightest faculty members at Ohio State, and some might say, the country. 

Be sure to reach out and join us in wishing Dr. Lin and Dr. Tuxbruy-Gleissner good luck and congratulations in their new positions!

Dr. Alisa Ballard Lin is also the new Graduate Studies Chair at the SEELC. Dr. Lin’s research is on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian and East European theater, literature, film, and culture, with particular focus on the theory and philosophy of performance. Her research interests include theater’s interactions with philosophy and psychology, history of acting, religious performance, gender and celebrity studies, the medical humanities, and the material history of textiles and fashion in Russia and Eastern Europe

Dr. Philip Tuxbury-Gleissner will continue as the Undergraduate Studies Chair for the Slavic Department in the upcoming year.  He specializes in the cultures and literatures of socialist Eastern Europe, with an emphasis on print media in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and the GDR. He is particularly interested in media as agents of mobility: mechanisms that facilitate the transnational circulation of cultural forms within and beyond Eastern and East Central Europe.
