October 28–29, 2022

Co-sponsored by Princeton University’s Department of History and Columbia University’s Harriman Institute.

Industrious Nations: Reconsidering Nationality and Economy in the Soviet Union

Marking the centennial of the Soviet Union’s founding in December 1922, this two-day workshop explores the relationship between national identity and the economy in the Soviet Union. It brings together scholars whose research engages with these two fields and serves as a platform to exchange ideas on how to combine both issues in a meaningful way. Precirculated papers from invited participants will form the basis of discussion. Artemy Kalinovsky will address the workshop in a keynote lecture. In addition, a roundtable discussion of leading scholars in these fields will respond to the panels and conclude the workshop.

While the four paper panels of the workshop will be in-person only, the keynote lecture and the roundtable discussion will be offered in a hybrid format, both on Zoom and in-person. Registration is required for either format. Please visit https://industriousnations.princeton.edu for more information, including the schedule, speaker bios, and registration.
