Matt Romaniello, visiting assistant professor of history, participated in the roundtable discussion "Perceptions of Frontiers and Borders in Muscovy" at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies, in Boston, Mass., on Dec. 10.
Romaniello will spend two weeks conducting research at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. His research project, "The Incorporation of the Russian Frontier, 1552-1682," about Muscovite Russia's colonial project in and around the Muslim Turkic city of Kazan, is supported by a short-term grant from the Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center.
