Ranked #1 in the World
By Dr. Eileen Borris, Thunderbird Adjunct Professor
I arrived in the former Soviet Union in 1986 paranoid and full of trepidation. Many in the United States had warned me about entering the “evil empire,” and I had watched movies and read books that bolstered this view. Initially, everything I saw in Moscow confirmed my biases. Unconscious beliefs surfaced and became conscious. My views changed when I flew to Ukraine to teach at the University of Odessa. There I met a Soviet English professor who looked similar to me. As we became close friends, we discovered many things in common. Our similarities surprised us. Learn more in the Thunderbird Knowledge Network video below.
