UEA East Centre

Description

The East Centre is the University of East Anglia's interdisciplinary centre for the study of East and Central Europe and the former Soviet space. Established at the end of 2021, the centre draws on a tradition of Slavic and East European studies at UEA, and its mission is to create a space where academics, researchers and students can come together for discussion and dialogue across the field as a whole. Its members include historians, translators, literature scholars, political scientists and others who study the region, its peoples and its languages, and research specialisms within the centre include literary translation, Soviet history, Russia-Japan cultural encounters, Balkan history and international communism. The centre reports that it organises and co-sponsors talks, lectures, workshops and conferences, including a research seminar series, and it will host the 52nd annual conference of the Study Group on the Russian Revolution in January 2027.
