I did my MA dissertation in medieval Persian manuscript painting (though I unfortunately do not read Persian or Arabic).

I also concentrated on 🇷🇺 Russian history for the history side of my degree, with a particular emphasis on


 * the nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century
 * the revolutionary movements
 * Dostoevsky
 * Tolstoy
 * the Bolsheviks
 * Stalin

I am also particularly interested in New England, where I am from, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland, where I live, and 🇲🇽 Mexico, where my partner is from.
