My main interest has always been an intersection of art and psychology. I have received an interdisciplinary training and have been exposed to various theoretical perspectives and schools in humanities. I graduated from Moscow State University, Russia in 1989, specializing in psychology, philosophy and cultural studies. My research there was centering on theoretical work of Eisenstein. In 1992 I moved to Australia. In 1999 I completed professional doctorate in psychology at Swinburne University, Melbourne, looking at stability and change of self-referent knowledge structures. At the moment I am working on my PhD project at Monassh University in Melbourne, Australia, exploring narrative approaches in philosophy, literary and cultural studies and psychology. Besides, I am interested in theoretical aspects of cinema studies and Slavic studies, particularly contemporary (postmodern) development in Russian cinema, art and literature.
