Career Summary
Biography
Euridice Charon’s academic career at the University of Newcastle began as a casual tutor in Anthropology while completing her PhD. Since 2004, she has worked on various research projects, most recently with Associate Professor Roger Markwick. This collaboration has produced a number of international publications, including a co-authored monograph, Soviet women on the front line in the Second World War (Palgrave Macmillan 2012), which was shortlisted for the NSW Premier’s History Prize in 2013. Euridice is currently working as a Senior Research Associate for an Australian Research Council funded project on Soviet women on the home-front during Second World War. Euridice is a fluent speaker of Russian and Spanish, and holds a Master’s degree in History from Tashkent University in Uzbekistan.
Research ExpertiseMy research expertise centres on historical and anthropological analysis, involving detailed archival and interview work. This has included major research projects on Cuban migration and diaspora; and more recently on Soviet women’s gendered experiences in the Eastern battlefields of World War II and on the Soviet home front. My early research unearthed the history of Arab migration to Cuba, and documented these communities' contribution to the contemporary Cuban nation. Building on this topic, my research has examined the phenomenon of identity within small migrant communities, via my doctoral research of a pioneering group of Cuban migrants who settled in NSW, Australia, in the late 1960s. Currently my research is centred on Soviet history in WW-II, researching the Blood Donors’ movement of the 1940s and Soviet women’s contributions to the home-front economy. In addition, I am beginning a project examining the history of Soviet university education aid from 1956-1991, examining its nature, reach and impact.
