Felix Cowan specializes in the history of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, with research interests focused on political culture, urban history, and everyday life. His book, published by the University of Toronto Press in 2025, titled 'Popular Journalism in Revolutionary Russia, 1908-1918,' examines cheap newspapers aimed at poor readers, utilizing sources to investigate the development of a democratic political culture in the early 20th century Russian Empire. Professor Cowan's published work delves into themes such as civil society, gender identity, and lower-class politics during the revolutionary era of Russian and Soviet history.
