Overall Research Project Description I am co-editing a collection of scholarly essays titled ReFocus: The Films of Alexander Sokurov, to be published with Edinburgh University Press. Alexander Sokurov is one of the most renown filmmakers working today, and the collection will be an important contribution to the existing scholarship on his work. Major scholars in the field have already contributed their chapters. I am now working with my co-editor to prepare the volume for submission to the press and final publication. I will mentor the UROP research assistant to help me with the process of preparing the volume for submission of the final manuscript to the press.
Research Tasks preparation of a bibliography, formatting chapters using Chicago style references, possible transliteration from Russian to English, preparation of an index, ensuring consistent spelling, transliteration, etc. across the volume, formatting of images according to publishers guidelines
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: ability to use Word and Google docs, attention to detail, ability to follow publisher's guidelines, familiarity with how books use bibliographies and indexes to cite and organize scholarly references
Mentoring Philosophy Mentoring is an opportunity for professional and intellectual development, both for me and the mentee. I see our relationship as collaborative, with both of us sharing the goals of making valuable contributions to existing scholarship and advancing the state of the field. I especially encourage the students with whom I work to develop their own scholarly projects, and will encourage them to create a project of publishable quality, eventually finding venues for the presentation and publication of the final work. It is important for me to know the goals and interests of the mentees with whom I work, so that I can understand and appreciate what they wish to achieve with their projects. Ultimately, the mentee and I should see our working relationship as part of the project, one that evolves over time and adapts to new developments, and is something we can eventually be as proud of as the project itself.
