From John Bailyn at SUNY Stony Brook:
I am writing now to let you know about NYI (the NY-St. Petersburg
Institute of Linguistics, Cognition and Culture) - the ongoing St.
Petersburg summer institute I have co-directed since 2003 which will be
held this year from July 18-August 5, 2011 in St. Petersburg, Russia.
NYI's website is http://www.nyi.spb.ru
NYI is a phenomenal way for advanced undergraduates and beginning
graduate students to have an eye-opening overseas experience, while
continuing their focus on Linguistics and Cognitive Science.
*The school is a 3-week Institute, held in beautiful St. Petersburg, Russia, at
which students choose 4 seminars in a range of fields, especially
Linguistics.
*Faculty are from a wide range of US institutions, and this year's Linguistics program features, among others:
*Caroline Heycock (Edinburgh)
*Nina Kazanina (Bristol)
*Roumyana Pancheva (USC)
*Maria Polinsky (Harvard)
*John F. Bailyn and Julie Weisenberg (Stony Brook)
*All classes are in English.
* NYI is a superb way to spend 3-4 weeks of summer 2011!
There are two ways US students can participate:
(i) *For credit* through Stony Brook's 4-wk Study Abroad program to St.
Petersburg, for which they get 6-9 transferrable credits and pay SUNY
(low) tuition and a program Fee. For this option, which includes study
of beginning Russian and group excursions, a cultural program and so on,
the deadline is April 1, and interested students should go to the Stony
Brook Study Abroad website for application details.

(ii) Students can *attend NYI directly*, without receiving any US-side
credit (just our Certificate of Completion) and without paying US
tuition for the program, just a reduced Program Fee. For this option
interested students should contact me directly
at jbailyn@notes.cc.sunysb.edu.
