Biography

Ashleigh Androsoff specializes in the history of Western Canada, focusing on present-day British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. She is currently revising a book manuscript titled "Spirit Wrestling: The Doukhobor Problem in Russia and Canada," which explores the identity conflicts faced by this pacifistic Christian group as they migrated to a culturally pluralist state. Her work delves into the public's perception of the "Doukhobor problem" and its implications on evolving Russian Canadian identities during the 19th and 20th centuries. Additionally, her research examines the responses of Doukhobor women and men to Canadian gender norms, highlighting the challenges faced by non-conformist ethnic minorities. Dr. Androsoff engages in community-centered projects, actively accepting new graduate students, and believes in motivating students to develop critical thinking and engage effectively within their communities.
