The main stream of my research was always in Urban Studies
centered primarily on cities of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. My current
research focus is on Russian Cities In Transition. Thanks to the Faculty Research Fund and
to the award from Indiana Consortium for International Programs I was able to spent two
weeks in Moscow during this Summer collecting data, taking pictures, and making video. I
would like to share some of the results of this project with my colleagues and students
through this web page.
