Dr Ariane Galy

I am a historian with over 15 years of research experience. I studied at the University of Edinburgh, where I first obtained my undergraduate degree in History, soon followed by my MSc by Research and finally my PhD.

My own research specialism is in Soviet history, in particular Stalinism, the perception of Stalin and his regime in the West and the notion of the Russian ‘other’. However, through History Box I am lucky enough to undertake research on a huge variety of historical topics. I previously taught European history 1500-1991 for several years at the University of Edinburgh and have extensive experience of presenting historical events and contexts, as well as my own research, in clear, accessible and engaging ways in both written and spoken form for a variety of audiences. I am based in London with easy access to the city’s rich library and archival resources, and am able to travel as required.
