Research interests include critical military studies, patriotic education systems in the former Soviet Union, and the role of historical memory in political narratives. Her work examines how states use youth movements, digital platforms, and symbols like the St George ribbon to reinforce militarised patriotism.
Recent publications analyze trends in Russian youth mobilisation, such as Telegram propaganda during the Ukraine war, child militarisation under Putin, and textbook narratives from the Yeltsin era. These studies explore the evolution of patriotic education from the 1990s to modern times.
Professional affiliations include the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies, International Studies Association, and British International Studies Association. She welcomes collaborations on topics like Russian military culture, commemoration, and state-controlled education systems.
