Tetiana Zemliakova

Tetiana Zemliakova is an intellectual historian of modern disciplinary knowledge and a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at the EUI. Her first book project, Building Schools: the American Research University and the Birth of Modern Political Science (1850–1910), is a study dedicated to the intersection between the institutional development of modern research universities and the rise of academic disciplines in Germany and the US. Tetiana’s second project—The Last Men and Their Times: Modernity’s Emancipation from History—explores the history of embodied time in modernity. Following the discoveries of the geological, ontogenetic, and mythical time, the project traces the change in affective schemes of the last men. Tetiana also teaches courses on the history of ideologies and the politics of warfare at the Invisible University for Ukraine, directs IUFU’s Winter Schools, and conducts a writing seminar with IUFU’s graduate students.
