Spotlight on... Rachel Morley
Rachel Morley, on a team-based UCL ChangeMaker project which focused on improving assessment with undergraduate students in UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES). What is your role and what does it involve? I'm Associate Professor of Russian Cinema and Culture at the UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES). My role has three main strands - research, teaching and administration - which each come to the fore at different points of the year. My teaching covers Russian and Soviet cinema from 1896 to the present. I also teach Russian to English translation. My research focuses on early Russian cinema (pre-1919) and in particular on gender and experimentation with cinematic language and form. I also work on Soviet silent cinema, the representation of abortion in Soviet cinema and contemporary women filmmakers working in Russian.
