About

I received my PhD in History at UCLA.  My dissertation, We Shall Refashion Life on Earth! The Political Culture of the Young Communist League, 1918-1928 (2009), examines the formation of young communist identity in NEP Russia.  My current project addresses the concept of race in 19th and 20th century Russia.  In addition to Russia, my interests include youth movements and culture, social and cultural theory, Marxism, social history, left and right wing radicalism, and political movements.
