Welcome once again to the next installation of our Summer Adventure Series! While we are excited for the Autumn Semester to begin, there is still so much time for fun, learning, and adventure this Summer!

This series aims to not only get readers more familiar with our students, faculty, and staff, but these stories also demonstrate that there are so many opportunities for learning and professional growth over the Summer semester.

This week, we are featuring Dr. Yana Hashamova! Dr. Hashamova is the Graduate Studies Chair at the SEELC, as well as the Slavic and East European Journal Editor, and Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor.

Read below a little bit about what Dr. Hashomva has been up to this summer, and check out our "People Page" to learn more!

"The first half of the summer offered more work than rest with three presentations on Bulgarian diaspora schools, identity politics, and multicultural nationalism delivered in Sofia and Tallinn. My co-editor Gulnaz Sharafutdinova and I finalized our volume prospectus, Sub-Altern Russia: Ecological Selfhood and Counter-hegemonic Narratives, drafted the introduction, and received an advanced contract from U of Wisconsin Press, a step closer to the finish line. Aside from these excitements, short trips to various places in Bulgaria provided real respite, and more fun is waiting ahead, a planned vacation."
