_{Mustafa Tuna (Ph.D. 2009, Princeton University) is Assistant Professor of Russian and Central Eurasian History and Culture in the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies with a secondary appointment in the Department of History. His research focuses on social and cultural change among the Muslim communities of Central Eurasia, especially the Volga-Urals region and modern Turkey, since the early-nineteenth century. He is particularly interested in identifying the often intertwined roles of Islam, social networks, state or elite interventions, infrastructural changes, and the globalization of European modernity in transforming Muslim communities. He is currently working on his book project tentatively titled Imperial Russia's Muslims: Islam, Empire, and West European Modernity in the Volga-Ural Heartland, 1788-1917. Dr. Tuna is married and has one son.}
