Jan Farfal
DPhil in Russian and East European Studies
I am a doctoral candidate in Area Studies (Russia and East Europe) at Wolfson College, University of Oxford. My project examines the ways in which émigré journals addressed their home societies behind the Iron Curtain. The focus of the project will be placed upon the most prominent Polish, Czechoslovak and Yugoslav democratic centre-left émigré journals in the postwar period including their legacies in the post-socialist transition. My broader interests include intellectual history related to the ‘Iron Curtain’ and the contemporary identity disputes experienced in the former Eastern Bloc.
