With the support of the U.S.
Department of Education, this joint Duke-University of North
Carolina Center coordinates interdisciplinary efforts primarily
in the fields of Russian (including Soviet) and East European history,
economics, political science, literature, linguistics and language
training. Language instruction in Russian, Polish, and Ukrainian
is available. The committee also sponsors visiting lectures, conferences,
symposia, and films.
Established in 1999 and operated jointly by Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Slavic and East European Language Resource Center (SEELRC) is one of fourteen National Foreign Language Resource Centers.
The mission of the SEELRC (pronounced "see-l-r-c") is to improve the national capacity to teach and learn Slavic and East European languages. The Center accomplishes this by developing teaching and assessment materials as well as by supporting research and a variety of activities, including undergraduate and graduate education and exchange programs, conferences, seminars, and public outreach programs. Funding for the Center comes from the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
