Joshua Sanborn (1969-) grew up in Maine before attending college at Stanford University (BA, 1991) and the University of Chicago (PhD, 1998). After a brief stint at Stephen F. Austin St. University, he took a position at Lafayette College, where he has taught since 1999. His work has focused on the intersection of social connections, political imagination, and the performance of violence. His first book, _Drafting the Russian Nation_, argued that the emergence of the Russian nation in the midst of war and revolution depended upon practices of violence that undermined social stability at the time and for years to come. His second book, _Gender, Sex, and the Shaping of Modern Europe_ (co-authored with Annette Timm) demonstrated the complex ways that gender structured historical change in Europe over the past 250 years. His most recent book, _Imperial Apocalypse_, suggests that Russia's Great War experience is best understood as an early example of 20th century decolonization, complete with state collapse, social disaster, and virulent nationalist mobilization.
