Dr Jennifer Keating is Assistant Professor of Modern East European History at University College Dublin, Ireland. Her research focuses more broadly on the social and environmental history of the late tsarist and early Soviet state, particularly at the edges of empire and at moments of crisis, collapse and revolution. She previously lectured in Russian and Soviet history at University College London, London School of Economics and the University of Cambridge.
I am a historian of the late imperial and early Soviet state, working primarily on the social and environmental history of empire in Russia.
I am currently completing my first monograph, On arid ground: Political ecologies of empire in tsarist Central Asia, which examines environmental development in the Russian colonial south as a form of imperial integration and exclusion.
I have also recently begun work on a major new project that explores violence and the natural world during the civil war period, and will have my first article on this topic published in 2019 in a volume of the ‘Russia’s Great War and Revolution’ series.
I am also completing a long-running project on emptiness in history, in collaboration with colleagues at the universities of Birmingham and Pennsylvania, which will be published as an edited monograph in 2018.
With colleagues at the universities of Cambridge and Manchester, in 2017 I co-founded the UK Environmental History Workshop
