About Us
The Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies was established as a result of an endowment from Walter Havighurst, a longtime Miami University English professor and author, who died in 1994. Professor Havighurst taught at Miami from 1928-1969.
The Center is interdisciplinary, with faculty associates in many departments throughout the University. In addition to the Center's Director and Staff, the Center relies on Faculty Associates who are drawn together by their mutually held interests in exploring issues related to Russia and the post-Soviet world.
The Havighurst Center is the institutional home to the Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS). For more information, visit the CESS webpage .
