Dr.
Suzanne Ament teaches Russian, East European and world history. She
received her Ph.D. at Indiana University in 1996 in Russian history with minors in E
ast European history, voice performance, and cultural Anthropology.
Her research areas include the history of Russian Revolutionary songs, The
role of popular song in World War II in the USSR, and the music duo Ivashenko
and Vasiliev who performed in Russia during the 1980’s. She also has great
interest in the practice and methodology of oral history. Dr. Ament considers
herself a world citizen, having lived and traveled in the USSR and Russia for
a total of two years, studied in the former Yugoslavia, and traveled in China,
Turkey, Romania, Israel, Mexico, and Western Europe. Her favorite quotation
“The Earth is but one country and mankind its citizens” from the founder of
the Baha’I faith sums up her view of the world. Since she has been blind since
birth, she does her work and traveling with a partner--currently her third
Seeing Eye Dog, Nikita.
