I received a Ph.D. in Russian History (with additional fields in British and Modern European history) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research on sixteenth and seventeenth century Muscovy has focused on the legal distinction between the pomestie and votchinas and the application of quantitative analysis to the cadastral data explaining the rate of turnover of the pomestie. I have also conducted extensive research into the medieval Russian Parliament (zemskii sobor). My paper on “The Inheritability of the Shelonskaia Pomestie in the Sixteenth Century” was recently presented to the annual conference of the Arkansas College History Teachers’ Association while my paper on “Late Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth Century Russian Parliaments” will be presented in January to the 6th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Arts and Humanities.
