About

I am an Instructor at Nazarbayev University’s Department of History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies, where I teach History of Kazakhstan. My work focuses on delivering engaging courses, fostering critical discussions, and continuously refining course content to enhance learning outcomes.

My research explores nation-building, nationalism, and Eurasianism in post-Soviet states, particularly Kazakhstan. My PhD in Sociology examined state discourses of the nation, analyzing how governments construct and disseminate national narratives through policy, propaganda, and ideology.
