Susan Morrissey's publications include works on suicide and the body politic, and the economy of nerves and commercial culture in late imperial Russia. Her new project ('Political Violence in Russia, 1901-1911'), which has been funded by the British Academy, explores the relationship between revolutionary terrorism, state-sponsored violence, and culture and media in early twentieth-century Russia.
