Elise Giuliano’s research focuses on the politics of ethnic identity, especially the question of how ethnicity impacts popular attitudes and political mobilization. Her book, Constructing Grievance: Ethnic Nationalism in Russia’s Republics, examines minority support for nationalist separatism in Russia’s ethnic republics. Currently, Giuliano is researching how the crisis in Ukraine has influenced political opinion among Ukrainian citizens—especially in the understudied eastern regions of the country.
