Oxana Shevel is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Tufts University specializing in comparative politics. Her research and teaching focuses on the post-Communist Europe and issues such as nation- and state-building, the politics of citizenship and migration, and the influence of international institutions on democratization. She is currently finalizing a book manuscript, to be published by Cambridge University Press, that examines how the politics of national identity and strategies of the UNHCR shape refugee admission policies in the post-Communist region. Professor Shevel is also working on her second book-length project – a comparative study of the sources of citizenship policies in fifteen former Soviet republics. Her research has appeared in Comparative Politics, East European Politics and Societies, Political Science Quarterly, Nationality Papers, and in edited volumes. Prior to coming to Tufts, Prof. Shevel taught at Purdue University and held post-doctoral appointments at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. She holds a PhD in Government from Harvard University, an M.Phil in International Relations from the University of Cambridge in England, and a BA in English and French from Kyiv State University in Ukraine.
