Teaching and Research Interests

Russian nineteenth and twentieth century intellectual history with a particular focus on the dynamics of 'cultural transfer' across France, Germany and Russia. I am currently working on developments in Russian historiography from the late-eighteenth century to the present. I have been a member of the editorial board of Studies in East European Thought (Springer) and am currently a member of the International Advisory Board of Intellectual History Review (Routledge). My teaching covers the history of Imperial and Soviet Russia: history of the Russian intelligentsia; Russian historians in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries; West European and American modern historiography.
