I would like to welcome Alina Parker to our fourth episode of office hours. Alina is a full-time lecturer in the Writing Program and the Russian, Eurasian, and Polish Studies Program at UMass Amherst. Her research interests include postsocialism, Eastern Europe, political contention, and far-right politics. She is originally from Kharkiv, Ukraine, and I took a class on Russia's invasion of Ukraine that she taught last semester.
