Natalia Mikhailova

University Laval, Canada

I graduated from St. Petersburg State University with a BA major in Mongol-Tibetan Philology in 2012. After that I pursued my Master degree in China Studies at Nanjing University (PRC) and then, I simultaneously enrolled in a second Master program majoring in Politics and International Relations at St. Petersburg State University. In 2015, I finished both of my MA programs and enrolled in a PhD program in History of Asian and African Countries at St. Petersburg State University. However, due to the untimely death of my academic advisor Prof. Pavel Grokhovskiy in December 2018, the subsequent commencement of my employment as a lecturer at the Faculty of Asian and African Studies of St. Petersburg State University, my duties as a convener of the 5th International Seminar of Young Tibetologists (ISYT) and the President of ISYT, it has taken me more time to finish my doctoral dissertation entitled “Constructing the Metanarrative of Independence in The Tibet Mirror Newspaper in the 1950s and 1960s.” On the 25th of May 2023, I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation at St. Petersburg State University and now, since fall 2023, I have commenced my postdoctoral work at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Université Laval.
