I am an interdisciplinary scholar and teacher whose work intertwines international relations, development studies, energy security, and feminist-informed approaches to politics. I hold a PhD in Political Science from the University of Alberta (Canada, 2019). Before that, I studied Comparative Politics at People's Friendship University (Russia, 2012) and International Relations at Shandong University (China, 2012). 

My research is focused on the nexus between politics and sociocultural contexts in international relations and develops a cross-disciplinary methodological toolkit around the concept of discursive politics. I have a strong expertise in different models of discourse analysis, content analysis, ethnography, and case studies. My research examines politics in China, Russia, Canada, and the Central Asian region.
