Research Interests

I am a historian of Russia with a particular interest in gender and culture in the Soviet Union during the 20th century. My work examines the gender and cultural impact of military institutions; how masculinities were constructed and maintained across the Soviet century; daily life for population groups such as youth, conscripts, working mothers, athletes, and scientists; sports and leisure in communist states; popular culture in the late Cold War; and how culture(s) worked in tandem with political and economic priorities to produce distinctly Soviet experiences.
