Biography
Galina Oustinova-Stjepanovic is a Lecturer in Social Anthropology and Sociology at the Department of Sociology at the University of Glasgow, UK.
“Monumental Names is a deeply thoughtful ethnography of the activist organisations Memorial and Last Address in Moscow. … [It] is a complex book, deeply engaging with philosophy, which makes it a laborious read for students not familiar with such literature. But conversely it is full of interesting ideas for memory scholars.” – Roger Sansi in Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale
