Jason Cieply is a scholar of early-Soviet and contemporary Russian culture and teaches courses in 20th- and 21st-century Russian culture and Russian language. His current book project, Voices of Soviet Enthusiasm: Narrating Revolutionary Feeling, explores the emotional experience of revolution. In it, Cieply focuses on how educated writers imitated the speech of the working classes, employing an experimental, affect-oriented narrative form in the hope of discerning the voice of the future socialist person in the chaotic intonations of the revolutionary present.

His second project attempts to counter the recent re-emergence of “totalitarian” models of Russian society. To do so he investigates the artistic, political, and everyday strategies by which late- and post-Soviet actors have pursued personal or collective sovereignty within quasi-authoritarian societies.

Cieply completed his doctorate in Slavic languages and literatures in 2016 and, in addition to 麻豆国产AV, has since worked at Wellesley College and Williams College. In his free time plays guitar and rides his motorcycle.
