This semester I will be Module Tutor for the undergraduate modules \u2018HM4405: Emancipation to Revolution: Russia, 1861-1921\u2019 and \u2018HM5406: Revolution from Above: the Soviet Union, 1921-1953\u2019, and am very pleased to be co-teaching on \u2018HM5001: Research and Inquiry\u2019 alongside Dr Christian O\u2019Connell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Melanie mentioned in her earlier blog, she very kindly agreed to act as external examiner for my doctoral thesis in 2018, providing some incredibly valuable feedback on my own research. I am thrilled to be able to work alongside Melanie this semester, as her research and approach to Soviet history, and women\u2019s history, have been influential to my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"645\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/446\/2021\/10\/12390996_10156282644450290_986281973094409135_n-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/446\/2021\/10\/12390996_10156282644450290_986281973094409135_n-002.jpg 645w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/446\/2021\/10\/12390996_10156282644450290_986281973094409135_n-002-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/446\/2021\/10\/12390996_10156282644450290_986281973094409135_n-002-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>My research at present focuses on the letters women wrote to authorities and the press in the early Soviet period, and their subjective significance as texts and objects. My research explores the reception of Soviet ideology and discourse among women, examining emotional expressions and constructions of self. I am also in the (very very) early stages of developing a new project examining Aleksandra Kollontai\u2019s diplomatic assignments in Norway in 1922 and 1927-30, as only the third women to undertake modern diplomatic service, but also in effective exile from her work in domestic politics and the <em>Zhenotdel <\/em>in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am sure that discussions will be particularly valuable to the preparation of two forthcoming publications, on the value of letters for \u2018ordinary\u2019 Soviet women as \u2018emotional agents\u2019 in mediating \u2018un-Soviet\u2019 emotions, and on gendered articulations of gratitude and loyalty during the Stalinist Terror, which I will be working on this winter. I am very much looking forward to getting to work with, and to share research and perspectives with, the students at the University of Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am delighted to be joining the University of Gloucestershire for semester 1 2021\/22 as a part time Lecturer in Russian and Soviet History, whilst Professor Melanie Ilic undertakes her [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[174,37,770,72,768,437,253,43,766,73],"class_list":["post-3011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-cheltenham","tag-gloucestershire","tag-libraries-and-archives","tag-melanie-ilic-2","tag-modern","tag-russian-history","tag-soviet-history","tag-university-of-gloucestershire","tag-uog","tag-womens-history"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3011"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3328,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3011\/revisions\/3328"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/history\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
