The Slavic Eurasian region (which covers Russia, the Slavic region of Central Europe, and Eastern Europe) is a locale with rich and diverse culture, and is a key region to focus on when trying to understand our modern world. This department is managed by instructors from the world-class research center on this region, the Slavic Eurasian Research Center. The center offers to students a large scale library and the most plentiful resource materials for this field in all of Japan. Moreover, students can enjoy the intellectual stimulus provided by sources such as interactions with researchers (from both Japan and overseas) working at the center and the many international symposiums/research groups being held at the center. Students in this department can study the history, politics, economics, international relations, literature, culture, language, and anthropology of this region.
