Bio

David Parker's research explores literary depictions of the individual in late Soviet prose, with a particular focus on its relationship to modernist and socialist realist literature that shaped early 20th-century Russian writing. As a language instructor, he advocates for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchange—both as a subject of study and as a classroom practice—to enrich the learning experience for all students. In addition to Russia and the former Soviet Union, his work also examines the concept of "Yugoslavism" and the cultural history of the former Yugoslavia.
