Biography

Bojanowska received a B.A. from Barnard College and a Ph.D. from Harvard University.[2][3] She was a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study on a Frederick Burkhardt Fellowship funded by the American Council of Learned Societies.[4] She taught at Rutgers University before joining the Yale faculty.[5]

Bojanowska's specialization is on empire and nationalism in nineteenth-century Russian literature and intellectual history.[1] Her book, A World of Empires: The Russian Voyage of the Frigate Pallada (2018), which recounts the nineteenth-century voyage of a Russian frigate based on explorer Ivan Goncharov’s travelogue, received an honorable mention for the Heldt Prize from the Association of Women in Slavic Studies.[6] She also deconstructed the russocentric myth of Nikolai Gogol, a Ukrainian-born Russophone writer in the book Nikolai Gogol: Between Ukrainian and Russian Nationalism (2007), which received the Scaglione Prize for the best Book in Slavic Studies from the Modern Language Association.[2]

She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2020 to explore the imperial themes in the works of major nineteenth-century Russian writers.[1]
