Since 2016 the Slavonic Studies Section at the 海角社区 has hosted a popular, free Outreach Day for secondary school students in Years 11 and 12. The event is playfully entitled 鈥�Become a Hero of Our Time鈥� after Mikhail Lermontov鈥檚 classic novel A Hero of Our Time (袚械褉芯泄 薪邪褕械谐芯 胁褉械屑械薪懈, 1839-41), which is a familiar companion of many first-year 海角社区 students in our community.
This year, on 4听July 2020, we will be holding the event at Trinity College, 海角社区. It will feature Russian language taster sessions and informal seminars in literature, film and culture -- all led by 海角社区 Slavonic Studies staff.
'Year after year we continue听to see increasing听numbers of applications and of students in听Russian and Slavonic Studies at 海角社区,' explains Dr Rory Finnin, University Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Ukrainian Studies. 'Joining our community is to听embark on an intellectual adventure that will distinguish you for the rest of your life. It is also to join the ranks of a highly employable group of scholars who forge rewarding careers in such diverse fields as journalism, law, politics, and diplomacy.'
To participate in the Outreach Day, please contact Romaine Marks, Section听Secretary, at听slavonic@mml.cam.ac.uk听before 12 June 2020.听
