David-
Check out UCLA. They have a great Anthropology program and their Slavic
dept. is great. I just got my BA in Russian Studies from there and they
definately teach Serbo Croatian- Prof. Albijanic.
They also teach Polish, Czech, Ukrainian and of course beloved Russian.
Also their history dept has a really good Russian offshoot, Prof Steven
Frank is wonderful. Prof. Hatch is the 20th cent. man, but a little
jaded. The poli-sci dept is pretty good as well in dealing with Eastern
Europe.
Boston Universtiy is also great in its Anthro dept. I have heard the
Slavic dept has gone down hill a little. Also University of Chicago.
I just started at Hunter College of CUNY in the masters program in
Anthropology. So I have just done a lot of research in this very area,
Anthro and Slavic depts together.
Good Luck
Jessica
