Research
My research focuses on
the relationship between social memory and efforts to
foster a sense of common identity among historically
fractured and ethnically diverse populations.
My doctoral work considered this process in the context
of the Soviet Union’s remembrance of the Second World
War, looking in particular at the interaction between
state commemorative practices and elite conceptions of
Russian and Soviet national identity
Before
coming to SMU, I taught at Florida State University, the
University of Wales, Swansea, and Hertford College,
Oxford, and served as a two-time visiting scholar at
Moscow State University and the Woodrow Wilson Center in
Washington D.C.
