About
I am a UCIS/REES postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pittsburgh. I also host the podcast New Books in Russian and Eurasian Studies. I received my PhD in History at UCLA. Currently, I am writing a book tentatively titled, Communism in Crisis: Social Trauma and Russia’s Lost Generation, 1921-1931, which examines the traumatic legacies of social upheaval on youth in post-revolutionary Russia.
