The Slavic and East European Journal(SEEJ) is a major peer-reviewedacademic journal publishing original research and review essays in the areas of Slavic and East European languages, literatures, cultures, linguistics, methodology, and pedagogy, as well as reviews of books published in these areas.
History
SEEJ is one of the oldest American Slavist academic journals. Founded in 1945 as the Bulletin of the American Association of Teachers of Slavonic and East European Languages, the title changed to Bulletin of the American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages in 1947.
In 1954, "to bring the publication into conformity with the general pattern of foreign language teachers' publications," the name changed to The AATSEEL Journal.[1] In 1957, under the leadership of Professor J. Thomas Shaw, a distinguished Pushkinist who taught at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, the journal took on its modern form as the Slavic and East European Journal and increased its page count to allow for the publication of research articles to supplement its pedagogical material.[2]
The editorship of the journal changes every five years. Currently, the editorial offices are housed in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at the Ohio State University.
