Discussion with Tufts U. Professor Oxana Shevel on Ukrainian Politics

Our weekly online conversations on the global consequences of Russia's war on Ukraine continue with a discussion about Ukrainian and east European politics with Tufts University Professor Oxana Shevel.

 

 

 

Dr. Oxana Shevel is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Tufts University, where her research and teaching focus on the post-Communist region surrounding Russia, and issues such as nation- and state-building, the politics of citizenship and migration, memory and religious politics, and challenges to democratization in the post-Soviet region. Professor Shevel's current research projects examine the sources of citizenship policies in the post-Communist states; church-state relations in Ukraine; the origins of separatist conflict in Donbas; and memory politics in post-Soviet Ukraine. Professor Shevel holds a PhD in Government from Harvard University, an M.Phil in International Relations from the University of Cambridge in England, and a BA in English and French from Kyiv State University in Ukraine.
