Natalia Chernysheva

Natalia Chernysheva serves as a Teaching Associate Professor specializing in Russian language education. She earned her Ph.D. in Slavic Languages and Literatures from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2017, establishing her academic foundation in Slavic studies.

Her research centers on Lev Tolstoy's literary oeuvre with an interdisciplinary focus on sensory impressions in his writings. This work bridges Russian literary analysis, sensory studies, and cultural history, emphasizing 19th-century realism and phenomenological approaches to literature.

Dr. Chernysheva's recent scholarship includes book reviews in the Slavic and East European Journal examining Russian historical narratives through sensory frameworks and imperial court institutions. These publications demonstrate her critical engagement with contemporary methodologies in Slavic historiography.

She teaches a comprehensive sequence of Russian language courses (RUSS 101, 102, 203, 204, 409, 410) spanning introductory to advanced levels. No information is available regarding student advising, research grants, laboratory affiliations, or scientific awards in the provided materials.
