| Publications: | "Transnational Actors and Central Bank Transformation". This research project explores the role played by the transnational community of central bankers in actively guiding the transformation of post communist central banks. It combines a broad analysis of the transnational central banking community's training and technical assistance programs across the post-communist world with intensive comparative case studies of central bank development in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Kyrgyzstan "Monuments, Memorials and National Identity." Along with geographer Benjamin Forest, I conduct research on contemporary Russian national identity by investigating the political struggles over Soviet-era monuments, memorial and museums. We are now expanding this research to compare the political uses of public space in nation-building efforts across East Europe and Eurasia Piroska, D., Gorelkina, Y., and Johnson, J.
