Thesis: Russian Legal Orientalism: Internationall Law and the Conquest of Central Asia (PhD project)
My PhD project examines legal scholarship, treaty-making and the use of military force to understand how international lawyers assessed the Russian conquest of Central Asia. My research focuses primarly on Russian debates and practices but incorporates perspectives from Europe, the Americas, and (Central) Asia. The aim is to carve out the significance of the Russian conquest of Central Asia in the global history of international law and colonialism.
