The post-Soviet Russian state is haunted by the fear of not having enough people. Despite its well-publicized pronatalist campaigns, Russia’s declining birth rates and rising mortality rates since the 1990s cast doubt on the state's ability to care for its population effectively. In this ethnography, anthropologist Inna Leykin examines the post Soviet Russian state's efforts and failures in population care. Inna Leykin is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Political Science, and Communication at The Open University of Israel. Trained as a cultural anthropologist, she studies the cultures of intellectual expertise and policymaking, the cultural significance of statistical and demographic knowledge, postsocialist statecraft, and emerging practices of the self in contemporary Russia. She has recently embarked on new research focusing on the afterlife of Soviet agricultural development in postsocialist Mongolia. Her research has been published in academic journals including Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Medical Anthropology, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Sociology, Comparative Migration Studies, and Slavic Review. All are welcome to attend. This event is co-sponsored by The Center for the Humanities at Tufts, and the Departments of Anthropology, International Relations, and Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning.
