Research Interests

Description Of Research Interests

To date I have concentrated my academic research on two distinct areas: 1.CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN Based on my PhD research and language teaching experience, I have acquired expertise in areas of the curriculum which involve interdisciplinary components and language, and in particular the study of Russian for business purposes. I designed an undergraduate course in "BUSINESS RUSSIAN COMMUNICATION"(Intermediate and Advanced Level) at Trinity College Dublin which I have delivered since its inception in 1992. In addition I have created a complete package of course materials for the intensive format program in Business Russian, which aims to prepare Irish/EU graduates for careers in business in Russia and post-Soviet states. 2.ANALYSIS of CURRENT EU- RUSSIA RELATIONS. THE STUDY of SOCIO-ECONOMIC and POLITICAL TRENDS in the BALTIC STATES and THEIR RELATIONS with RUSSIA. This research interest developed from lecturing and supervising MA dissertations and essays for the course "Eastern Europe. Problems and Future Relations with the EU. Prospect for EU Enlargement to the East" as part of the Master of Arts Program in European Union Studies at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (Department of Modern History). Based on my current research, I am delivering a post-graduate module (ID7008) for the MPhil in Identities and Cultures of Europe: "EU-RUSSIA RELATIONS". The module includes analysis of the complexity of relations between the EU and Russia and provides up-to-date information about recent developments in Russian foreign policy as well as coverage of Russia-EU trade relations and economic cooperation. The module focuses not only on EU-Russia relations but also gives students the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the former Soviet Union countries which play a pivotal role in the implementation of Eastern Partnership program and the EU search for alternative energy suppliers to bypass Russia.
