Julia Malitska, Ph.D. in History, is a postdoctoral scholar at the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (CBEES) at Södertörn University, Sweden. She is author of the book “Negotiating Imperial Rule: Colonists and Marriage in the Nineteenth-Century Black Sea Steppe” (2017), which is her doctoral dissertation. She currently completes her postdoctoral project, entitled “Vegetarianism in the Russian Empire: Ideas, Practices, Identities and Legacies, 1860s–1920s,” which analyses the production and dissemination of ideas, practices, and ideologies of vegetarianism in time and space, among different activists and contexts. Malitska’s new project, financed by The Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies (Östersjöstiftelsen) (2022–2025), uncovers the entangled histories of nutritional science, biopolitics, food and environment in Eastern Europe from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.

Spheres of current research interests include imperial histories of East Central Europe, science-politics nexus in a historical perspective, environmental history, and biopolitics in the Russian Empire and Soviet Union.
