Gregory Stroud, History
A historian of Russia and modern Europe, Stroud is currently researching communities of the ‘Good Life’ to make sense of modernization in Russia. He is completing a manuscript, “Retrospective Revolution: Time and Memory in Early Twentieth-Century Russia.” An article drawn from this work, “The Past in Common: Modern Ruins as a Shared Urban Experience of Revolution-Era Moscow and Petersburg,” appeared in a special issue of Slavic Review on the topic of ruins. Stroud’s teaching, which garnered two awards at the University of Illinois, stresses interdisciplinary studies of mentalité, gender and urban life in both Russia and the West. Raised in an extended family of physicists, Stroud received his undergraduate education at Oberlin College (1994). He recently completed his PhD dissertation in Russian history at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (2006). He will be a visiting faculty member in History for Fall Term 2007 and Spring Term 2008.
