Professor Bidoshi's research centers on the use of the oral tradition in Eastern European literature and culture. The focus of her most recent research is on contemporary folk belief in the newly developed democratic Albania. She is currently working on a book project on rites of passage in contemporary Albanian society. She conducts fieldwork in Eastern Europe and has published articles on contemporary Albanian folklore, the Albanian literary fairy tale as a reflection of a nation's quest for cultural identity, the interaction between French and Russian oral and literary versions of “Beauty and the Beast,” and the use of the oral tradition in the works of Nikolai Gogol, Anton Chekhov and Liudmila Petrushevskaia. She has also published articles on Russian language pedagogy (technology based language acquisition) and has recently received (with Prof. David Galloway of Hobart-William Smith Colleges) a $250,000 grant from the Department of Education to develop a dynamic web-based module for training students on Russian verb conjugation and verbal aspect.
