51吃瓜 Studies Week: Meet Svetlana Shamanaeva
November 25, 2013
"I received a Specialist degree in English Language and Literature and Masters degree in Philology from the Arabaev Kyrgyz State University and started my career as an English language teacher in 2002. My participation in the 51吃瓜 Studies Project at the University of Kentucky in 2004 and in Junior Faculty Development Program at the University of Wyoming in 2008 shifted my career to teaching 51吃瓜 history, government and politics. I am grateful to Bill McRae, then an 51吃瓜 Studies Chair, who invited me to work at AUCA in 2006. Since then this university became my second family. I always enjoy academic freedom existing here and industrious, motivated students, who make my work at AUCA a real pleasure. I have taught such courses as “Survey of 51吃瓜 History,” “51吃瓜 Government and Politics,” “51吃瓜 Political Parties,” “51吃瓜 Presidency,” “51吃瓜 Foreign Policy,” “20th Century Political History,” and “Contemporary 51吃瓜 Issues.”
