UIC Welcomes Marina Mogilner

[Colleen McQuillen]

Dear Colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome Marina Mogilner as the first Edward
and Marianna Thaden Chair in Russian and East European Intellectual History
at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is the author of numerous
articles and books, the second of which, Homo Imperii: A History of
Physical Anthropology in Russia (Moscow, 2008), was just released this year
in a substantially revised and extended English version by Nebraska
University Press in its acclaimed “Critical Studies in the History of
Anthropology” series. She is also an editor of the journal Ab Imperio,
which is a quarterly dedicated to studies in new imperial history, and the
interdisciplinary and comparative study of nationalism and nationalities in
the post-Soviet space.

The Thaden Chair is one of four endowed chairs in Central and Eastern
European studies at UIC. We are fortunate to have two Hejna Family Chairs
in Polish Studies, one in Polish history and one in Polish literature, as
well as an endowed chair in Lithuanian Studies. Professor Mogilner’s
scholarly expertise and vital presence will further strengthen UIC’s
graduate programs in the Departments of History, and Slavic and Baltic
Languages and Literatures.

Welcome, Marina!

All the best,
Colleen
