The Slavic Connexion episodes
- Albania Mania: Football to Rap to Racism with Cultural Anthropologist Chelsi West Ohueri
If you're like us, you probably don't know too much about Albania--that little former Soviet satellite state that we certainly couldn't have picked out on a map in high school (maybe not even after 4 years of college). But Albania is a very unique nation and although not Slavic, as Tom says, "it's close enough for the Slavic Connexion". Through the eyes of the incredible Chelsi West Ohueri, we gain perspective while having a ton of laughs at the same time.
Recorded at the University of Texas at Austin on April 19th, 2019.

46 min - Victims' State // Slavic Folklore in YA Fiction
In this episode, we trek back in time to the late Habsburg Empire and post-World War I Eastern Europe with Dr. Hsia. And then we discuss Slavic Folklore in modern young adult literature with Dr. Martiniuk who talks about the romanticized Russian symbols used by authors everywhere of all backgrounds. We'll get into the issues behind using such symbols, and if it's cultural appreciation or appropriation.
ABOUT THE GUESTS:Ke-Chin Hsia
Having his received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 2013, Dr. Hsia is a lecturer in the department of history at Indiana University Bloomington. His current book manuscript, tentatively titled Victims’ State: War and Welfare in Austria, 1868-1925, is an analysis of how the Austrian state (first Imperial/Habsburg and then republican) and society tackled the human and social consequences of soldering in an era of universal military service, democratizing political culture, and totalizing war mobilization. Two other research projects are underway. One is on the “internal colonization” proposals in Imperial Austria during the First World War. The other is about political asylum and law and order in revolutionary Vienna. Growing up in Taiwan, receiving graduate education in the U.S., and doing research in Europe, He is also very interested in the rise of social insurance systems in Europe and East Asia from a transnational perspective. Additionally, his fascination with baseball as a subject of international and transnational history is growing as well. He is a member of the research network, The Quest for Welfare and Democracy, hosted by European University Institute.https://history.indiana.edu/faculty_staff/faculty/hsia_ke-chin.htmlJill Martiniuk
A visiting instructor in the English Department at the University of South Florida, Professor Martiniuk received her PhD in Slavic Languages and Literature from the University of Virginia. She specializes in 20th century Russian novels and their relationship with Western works. For her research on maternal grief and how expressions of grief are gendered in 19th and 20th century Russian literary and visual arts, she was the 2016 Scholar-in-Residence at the Hillwood Museum. In addition, she was one of the recipients of the 2013 Summer Language Institute Summer Research Grants and the 2013 GSAS Foreign Study Award, which allowed her to conduct research on Dante in Russian literature in Florence, Italy and Moscow, Russia. Her current research interests also focus on using the digital humanities to teach writing, literature, and culture. Her digital projects include a collaborative digital lesson plan on Ivan Bunin’s “The Gentleman From San Francisco” and curriculum redesigns that focus on bringing 3D printing into the humanities classroom.NOTE: Episode recorded on November 23rd and 24th, 2019 in San Francisco, California during the ASEEES 2019 Conference.

32 min - "Time is Profoundly Weird" with Craig Campbell
In this episode, Lera talks with anthropologist Craig Campbell talks about his interest in the river life of Siberia, the age of the Anthropocene, and how "time is profoundly weird."
ABOUT THE GUEST:
Dr. Craig Campbell is associate professor of anthropology and Slavic studies at UT Austin. A Canadian, he received his PhD from the University of Alberta. His academic work has most recently been concerned with the realm of ethnographic and documentary images. In his own words, the research and visual experiments that he undertakes explore the possibility for failed, defaced, degraded, manipulated, and damaged photographs to activate interpretive fields typically unacknowledged in conventional ethnographies and histories. This intermedia and aesthetic approach pushes the sensuousness of the world back into an intellectual and scholarly understanding of it. Professor Campbell is the director of the Intermedia Workshop, a laboratory of visual and sensory ethnography.
