Give to Slavic
Founded in 1901, the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures was one of the first departments of its kind in the United States.
Home to UC Berkeley’s only Nobel Prize winner in the Humanities, Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz (1911–2004), the department has remained in the vanguard of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies because of its breadth of coverage and interdisciplinary approach. While many similar departments at peer universities focus almost exclusively on Russian language and culture, Berkeley has offered Polish since the early 1900s and later added Armenian, Hungarian and a cluster of Balkan languages: Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. In the last few years, we have expanded our focus on Ukrainian language, literature and culture.
Your gifts support students and faculty across our department.
