Over ons Praktische zaken Waar vindt u ons R.F. (Rashid) Gabdulhakov, PhD

Research interests

Through my work, I aim to spotlight people, places, and cases that are underrepresented, misrepresented, or simply ignored in academia.

I am an assistant professor at the Research Centre for Media and Journalism Studies at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

I teach in the Media Studies BA programme and research social media in the context of Russia and Central Asia.

I enjoy riding my bike with my son in the baby seat, cooking for family and friends, playing with paint, and exploring new places.

If you would like to collaborate or find out more about my research, please email me or visit my personal website at https://www.plovism.com/
