profile: After completing my Ph.D. at Harvard, I taught at Harvard from 1962-1966 as Instructor and Assistant Professor. I was then appointed to the Princeton Department of Slavic Languages as Assistant Professor in 1966, promoted to Associate Professor in 1968 and to Full Professor in 1971. I chaired the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Prineton for 32 years, from 1970-2002.
My general research and pedagogical writings have been focused on modern and historical Russian, Czech and Slavic linguistics, Most of my publications have concerned Russian, then increasingly Czech and comparative Slavic linguistics, both modern and historical. One monograph, The Memoirs of Princess Natal'ja Borisovna Dolgorukaja, included a Russian history component.
