Arnold, Yanina
Slavic Languages and Literatures

arnoldy@umich.edu

 I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. I specialize in nineteenth century Russian literature and culture, and my research focuses on the interaction between legal culture and literature in late imperial Russia and its lasting impact on Russian attitudes toward law. My "sub-academic" hobbies include reading nineteenth century Russian popular press, collecting caricatures, translating, and drawing. Before coming to Michigan, I earned an MA in English from the University of Idaho, where I also taught college composition for two years. At Michigan, I taught courses in Russian language, designed and taught my own course in Russian Literature titled "Short Masterpieces of the Long Nineteenth Century"(which was an upper-lever writing requirement course), and also served as a graduate student mentor in my home department. Oh, and I forgot to mention: I am a native of Saint-Petersburg (Russia, not Florida).
