WiP: “Hybrid Cults and Sacred Places of the Northwestern Caucasus and Central Caucasus: Field Research Experience”

WiP: “Plan and Market in the Soviet Economy”

The essence of the Soviet economy is one of the central issues in contemporary historiography. Even if scholars do not address this problem directly, they still engage in the debates by using certain terminology to define the Soviet economy.

Paralleling this interest is a growing literature on water and how its development impacts conflict, protests, and politics throughout the world. The sub question of particular interest for my research is: how does water development, specifically hydroelectricity, interact with notions of nationhood and national identity?

WiP: “South Caucasian Muslim Communities under Russian Imperial Rule in the 19th Century”
