Dmitry Yurievich Borodin - a historian, in 1996 graduated from North Kazakhstan University
Department of History and Philology (Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan). In 1994-95 participated in one-year-non-degree
exchange program sponsored by ACTR/ACCELS; spent one academic year in Suffolk University (Boston, MA) majoring
in History and Sociology. In 1997 received an MA in Comparative History of Eastern and Central Europe from Central
European University (Budapest, Hungary). From that time on has been living in Tver, Russia. Married. Teaches at Tver
State University ( Department of Public Administration and Sociology, Chair of Sociology and Political Sciences),
works for the Center for Women's History and Gender Studies. Currently (2001 - 2003) he is a Civic Education Project
Local Faculty Fellow. At the same time he is a Ph.D. student at the Department of History of Central European University,
working on his dissertation entitled "The State and Rural Mass Movements during the Russian Civil War 1917-1922".
He has developed and taught several courses: "Comparative Social History of the Family",
"Civil Society: Concepts, Institutions, Reality and Prospects", "Human Rights in Human History",
"Major Trends in Western Historical Thought, (19th -20th centuries)",
"Modernization Within Imperial Context: a Comparative History of the Ottoman, Habsburg and Romanov Empires in the second half of the 19th - early 20th century".
His scholarly interests cover a bunch of problems related to the dichotomy "social change versus social continuity":
the family and its changing historical forms; gender stereotypes, their shaping, persistence and substitution;
transformation of traditional structures in the course of modernization and social impacts of the latter (especially
acute socio-political conflicts, namely comparing Civil wars of 19th -20th centuries); and the last but not least
is the problem of Russia's Sonderweg (or in a broader context can western experience be applied somewhere else?).
