Ani Abrahamyan

Ani Abrahamyan completed her Ph.D. at Indiana University’s Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures. Her research focuses on the development of social sciences in Imperial Russia, the impact of ethnographic inquiry on realism, and the representations of alternative communal configurations in literature. Her current book project examines the legal and aesthetic underpinnings of collective transgression in late Imperial Russia, as well as the role of ethnography and criminal anthropology in literary depictions of marginalized communities, including urban criminals and criminal exiles to Siberia.
