Who is this Jantley?
My name is Jeremy Antley and I am currently pursuing my PhD in Russian History, with a focus on peasant life during the imperial period. I have a twitter account @jobermallow and also post my deeper thoughts on Russian History, Digital Culture, and issues pertaining to Intellectual Property as it impacts cultural production of knowledge at my blog, Peasant Muse. I also created the Digital Russian Peasant Project, an attempt to catalog primary/secondary sources for easy reference and eventual creation of a searchable database upon which online tools can be built. For more information, check out about.me/jantley.

You can also view my CV here.
