Member news: David Moon

Next academic year (2018/19), David Moon of the Department of History at York will join the Department of History, Philosophy and Religious Studies at Nazarbayev University as a visiting professor.

Nazarbayev University, founded a decade ago, is a research university with mostly international faculty. Astana (formerly the Russian imperial city of Akmolinsk and later the Soviet city of Tselinograd) became the capital city in 1997. It is located in northern Kazakhstan in the heart of the Eurasian steppe, which has been the subject of some of David’s research in environmental history. He will be teaching courses in his areas of expertise.

David will be happy to facilitate links between York’s Asian specialists and their counterparts at Nazarbayev University.
