Dr. Stuart H. Goldberg received his PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. An Associate Professor in the School of Modern Languages, he joined the Georgia Tech faculty in 2003. His expertise lies in Russian and Polish literature and culture, with a focus on the poetry of Russian Modernism. He has published scholarly articles on Russian poetry in Russian Literature (Amsterdam), Slavic and East European Journal, Russian Review and Slavic Review among other publications. An article exploring the possible influence of Jewish Kabbalah on one of the masterpieces of Polish Romantic theater was translated into Polish and republished in a collection printed by the Polish Academy of Sciences ("Konrad i Jakub: Hipotetyczny podtekst kabalistyczny w III czesci Dziadów Adama Mickiewicza," in Polonistyka po amerykansku: Badania nad literatura polska w Ameryce Pólnocnej (1990-2005) [Warszawa: Instytut Badan Literackich Polskiej Akademii Nauk, 2006]). In 2005-2006, Dr. Goldberg was recipient of a Fulbright grant, funding eleven months of research in Moscow and Petersburg. His book, Mandelstam, Blok and the Boundaries of Mythopoetic Symbolism, forthcoming this fall from the Ohio State University Press, explores the influence of the younger generation of Russian Symbolists on the Osip Mandelstam and Mandelstam's play with distance and immediacy in his assimilation of the Symbolist heritage. He teaches all levels of Russian language and leads Georgia Tech's intensive summer immersion program in Moscow. He also offers courses in Russian literature and film in translation and a team-taught capstone course on contemporary Russian culture, politics and economics. He conceived and directs the US Department of Education funded Georgia Tech Critical Languages Song Project, an innovative curricular development project which brings together faculty designers in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Russian and a specialist in Human-Computer Interaction. Launch of CLSP materials is scheduled for fall 2012.
