    Claudia Wagner

    MAERES Class of 2016

    I am from London, UK. I studied Russian with


    Politics and Economics for my undergraduate degree
    at University College London. My previous work
    experience is in political risk and business intelligence
    consultancies.

    C E RE S S t u d e n t P r o f i l e

    Originally, I became interested in the region at the


    age of 14 when I first began learning Russian at the
    international school I attended. My introduction to
    the language was complimented with studies of
    Imperial Russia, the Bolshevik Revolution and the
    Stalin period in history classes at high school, and I
    developed a passion for Tolstoy and Pushkin novels
    during my teen years. After taking a gap year to
    explore Latin America, I returned to my studies concentrating on the Russian language and Russian
    and Ukrainian politics and foreign policy. During my undergrad studies, I spent significant periods of
    time in Kazan, St Petersburg and Moscow, Russia. I was fortunate to be in Moscow during the 20112012 elections and protests and later wrote my undergrad thesis on the portrayal of these elections
    and protests in Russian media and social media.
    I decided to pursue a Masters degree in the US as there are no similar programs in the UK.
    However, CERES also stood out in comparison to other programs in the US. Initially, I was
    impressed by the breadth of countries covered in the courses: the program offers courses on most
    countries in the region, so you can choose to be as specialized as you wish. The multi-disciplinary
    nature of the program also means you are able to study the region from all angles. I also appreciated
    the opportunity to take courses outside CERES in departments across the School of Foreign Service
    and the Graduate School, as well as other universities in the DC area. The chance to be taught by
    professors with a wealth of professional experience professors currently working on the region was
    also particularly appealing. Finally, the location in DC was a big attraction: the speakers I have heard
    at Georgetown and around DC have been remarkable, as well as the ability to interact with the wider
    community of academics and professionals working on the region.
    During my first year at CERES, I took courses on Russian Foreign Policy, European Security,
    Central Asian Politics and Business in Eurasia, as well as advanced Russian language classes. I spent
    the last year working with Dr. Angela Stent as a Research Assistant, researching Sino-Russian
    relations. I am on the board of Georgetown Women in International Affairs as the Strategic
    Planning Chair - a student-run organization housed under the Georgetown Institute for Women in
    Peace and Security.
