- Abstract
"The Pushkin Project: Russia's Favorite Writer, Modern Evolutionary Thought, and Teaching Inner-City Youth" is a book that tells the story of the Pushkin Summer Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a program for high school students from minority communities in Chicago. The program focuses on teaching Russian language and culture, with an emphasis on the works of Pushkin. The book explores the connection between culture and biology, using modern evolutionary thought to inform the program's objectives. It also provides detailed analysis of Pushkin's works and their relatability to contemporary students. The book concludes with positive feedback from students who participated in the program.
