Her work approaches modern Middle Eastern history from a \u201cSecond World\u201d perspective. It brings together several hitherto separate scholarly domains: Soviet nationalities policy with regard to the USSR\u2019s Muslim populations; social and cultural history of Stalinism in shaping the experience of Arab communists in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 1930s; cultural exchange with Arab leftist intellectuals during the Cold War; and the impacts of these exchanges on artistic, bureaucratic, and political practices inside the USSR and on those exported to Syria, Lebanon, Israel\/Palestine, and Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>Kirasirova\u2019s research has been supported by the SSRC InterAsia, Eurasia, and IDRF programs, Mellon\/ACLS, and IREX as well as a number of university-wide, competitive research fellowships at NYU. Her dissertation was awarded the Robert C. Tucker\/Stephen F. Cohen Dissertation Prize (2015). Before coming to NYUAD she spent a semester as a visiting research fellow at the Zentrum Moderner Orient in Berlin.<\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"course-list-container\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terri Geis is an art historian, independent curator, and museum educator.
