American 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 American 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 American history, government and politics. I am grateful to Bill McRae, then an American 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 American History,” “American Government and Politics,” “American Political Parties,” “American Presidency,” “American Foreign Policy,” “20^th Century Political History,” and “Contemporary American Issues.”
