About the speaker: Anna Krylova is Hunt Assistant Professor of Modern Russian History at Duke University. She received her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 2001. Her research focuses on twentieth-century Russian and gender history, World War II and mechanization of warfare violence, Marxism, and historiographical and theoretical problematics of historical interpretation and writing. It also engages with cultural, gender, and queer theory. Her book "Soviet Women in Combat: A History of Violence on the Eastern Front" (forthcoming from Cambridge University Press, February 2010) explores the unprecedented historical phenomenon of Soviet young women’s volunteering en masse for combat in 1941 and writes it into the 20th century history of women, war, and violence.
