Research
My primary research interest is the interplay of literature and national identity in Ukraine. I also study Soviet Russian dissident literature and Turkish nationalist literature. My broader interests include nationalism theory, human rights discourse, and problems of cultural memory. My current project is a comparative study of the role of lyric poetry in the emergence of modern European nationalisms.
I direct the Ukrainian Studies programme at Cambridge and chair the Cambridge Committee for Russian and East European Studies.
