Meike Wulf

Dr Meike Wulf earned her PhD in Contemporary East European History at the Government Department of the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2006.  Her doctoral research into nationalism and inter-ethnic conflict in post-Soviet Estonia was supervised by Anthony D. Smith and is forthcoming in Berghahn Books, Oxford & New York (series: Making Sense of History) in Spring 2012, entitled: Changing Memory Regimes in Post-Soviet Estonia.  With a first degree in Modern History, Politics, and Journalism from the University of Münster (Germany) Dr Wulf went to seek further specialisation through an MA in East European Studies at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES, University of London).  After a 2-year post-doctoral Research Fellowship at the Centre for East European Language Based Area Studies at UCL-SSEES which centered on a comparative study of post-Socialist and post-Soviet societies – Slovenia and Estonia – with regard to the iconography of memories of resistance as reflected in the cityscapes, Dr Wulf joined the Department of Politics of the University of Maastricht in 2009 as Assistant Professor, where she teaches in the fields of European Politics and History as well as Arts & Heritage. Dr Wulf is currently visiting fellow at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge (UK), where she is affiliated with the Memory At War Project (Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages) (www.memoryatwar.org/projects). Her most recent publications include a international peer reviewed journal article (co-authored with Pertti Grönholm) on "Generating Meaning across Generations: The Role of Historians in the Codification of History in Soviet and Post-Soviet Estonia", in Journal of Baltic Studies, 41 (3), 2010, pp. 351-382.
