  • Summary Statement of Research Interests

    My research interests include European decadence, decadent aesthetics in Russia, gender and sexuality in Russian film, and memory and post-memory in contemporary Russian novel. Currently, I am writing a dissertation on the artistic mediation of private memory as a means of resistance to the governmentally-mandate narratives on the national past in Russia.
