Current Research: Society, Space and Culture

I am a specialist on the North Caucasus, Russia, and have interests germane to cultural, historical, political, and social geography, with specific reference to the areas of development and the environment in the context of the Soviet Union and post-Soviet transition. My particular research interests include ethno-nationalism in post-Soviet Russia, the geopolitics of development, visuality and political cultures of masculinity, energy and the environment in post-Soviet Eurasia, and the history of geographical thought in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.
