Biography
I am a researcher and educator doing my doctoral studies at UMass Amherst in Sociocultural Anthropology. I study Belarusian communities in Europe. I am interested in how elderly and people with disabilities are adapting to life outside their homeland. I graduated from the Belarusian State University and got my Master's Degree in Sociology at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow where I worked as a senior lecturer for the School of Media and research fellow for the International Laboratory for Social Integration Research.
