Susan Larsen

Dr Larsen's current research explores issues of gender and national identity in Russian culture from the late 18th century to the present. Her recent publications focus on contemporary Russian cinema, but she has also published articles on Russian theater, pulp fiction for adolescents, and late Soviet women's magazines, as well as several translations of Russian play and film scripts. She is currently completing a book on girls' culture in Russia from 1764 to 1917 and contemplating a new project on Soviet filmmakers' response to French and Italian cinema in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
