Professor Daria Khitrova and Professor Aleksandra Kremer have each been appointed John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities as of July 1, 2022. The Loeb chair is one of a small number of endowed professorships for tenure-track faculty. It recognizes achievement in teaching, research, and departmental citizenship.

The Department congratulates them on their appointments!

The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures condemns Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and stands with all those who oppose this ongoing act of aggression. To commemorate one year of war in Ukraine, the Department will host two spring events to highlight the innovative, thought-provoking works of contemporary Ukrainian writers, artists, and scholars. We invite our Harvard community and supporters to attend; all are welcome.
