J. Paul Goode is an Associate Professor and McMillan Chair in Russian Studies at the Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS) within Carleton University’s Faculty of Public and Global Affairs. His research focuses on nationalism, authoritarianism, and political identity in Russia and post-Soviet states. He holds degrees from the University of Oxford (PhD, MPhil), University of Wisconsin-Madison (MA), and University of Texas-Austin (BA).
Professor Goode serves as Editor-in-Chief of Communist and Post-Communist Studies and Associate Editor of Nationalities Papers. He contributes to editorial roles at Russian Politics and Social Science Quarterly, and advises Nations and Nationalism. His professional memberships include the Program Committee and advisory board of the Association for the Study of Nationalities, and the Department Development Partnership Program of European University at St. Petersburg. Previous roles include founding Director of the Center for the Study of Nationalism and Coordinator for Russian and East European Studies at the University of Oklahoma, and Convenor of the Research Group on Nationalism, Populism, and Radicalism at the University of Bath.
His research explores nationalism in authoritarian contexts, the interplay between state strategies and everyday patriotic practices, and political legitimation mechanisms. Recent projects investigate pandemic politics, AI’s impact on identity, and the evolution of Putin’s governance. He consistently analyses how regimes engineer nationalist narratives to sustain power, with a focus on Russia’s territorial and ideological boundaries.
Goode’s work bridges theory and practice through interdisciplinary frameworks, emphasizing constructivist approaches to mass-level nationalism. His editorial leadership aims to democratize scholarly discourse on post-communist and authoritarian systems. He has pioneered studies on hybrid regimes and the challenges of conducting fieldwork in restricted environments. His contributions highlight the need for adaptive research strategies in politically volatile regions.
