Yuliya Kozitskaya holds a Ph.D. in Philology and Linguistics from the Higher School of Economics (Moscow). Before coming to Nazarbayev University, Dr. Kozitskaya taught a variety of literature courses both for BA and MA students at the Faculty of Humanities, HSE. Dr. Kozitskaya’s research interests include 20th-century literature, Soviet literary canon, Kazakh literature and theory of translation. In her dissertation, Dr. Kozitskaya studied the processes of formation of Kazakh Soviet literature in the 1930s, with the help of several case studies based on archival work, and analyzed the role that Moscow institutions, such as the Union of Soviet Writers and Soviet publishing houses, played in these processes. The research focused on the specifics of the status of the ‘Soviet national writer’ and showed the complexity of the relationship between Moscow as a center of the USSR and Kazakhstan. Now Dr. Kozitskaya works on her first monograph about Kazakh literature of the 1930s.
