Centre for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies (CEREES)

Description

The Centre for Eurasian, Russian, and East European Studies (CEREES) at Queen Mary University of London brings people together to learn about Eurasia (inclusive of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, East and Central Europe, the Baltics, Central Asia, and the Caucasus) and the region's global connections. Founded in 2023, CEREES builds on a tradition of Eurasian and East European expertise across the disciplines of History, Languages and Linguistics, Literature, Film, Drama, Politics, International Relations, Geography, Law, and Business Management at Queen Mary.

CEREES draws on expertise from across the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Queen Mary, partners with a range of national and international institutions, and hosts both scholarly and public events. It supports a cross-disciplinary programme of networks, reading groups, training, collaboration, and coproduction, and seeks to expand on established understandings of the politics, people, and culture of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, focusing on Eurasian epistemologies (the various forms of local, imperial, and global knowledges). Its groups are Decolonising Soviet Studies, Soviet Temporalities, Franco-Eurasian Entanglements, Eurasian Epistemologies, CEREES in east London and Post-Communist Studies.
