Abstract

Philippa Hetherington, Lecturer in Russian and Eurasian History at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) at University College London (UCL), died of cancer at the age of 38 on 5 November 2022. Such an untimely death is unfathomably tragic, but in her years as a historian of imperial Russia and the Soviet Union, Philippa was already able to contribute pathbreaking scholarship to our field and build a vibrant community of researchers and activists. As an Australian-born scholar who studied in the United States and wound up working in Britain, she traversed geographical and disciplinary boundaries in ways that seemed both effortless and necessary. In this memorial, we have tried to honor her legacy by writing a commemoration of her work together with members of this international community, recognizing her strength not just as a creative and original thinker but as a collaborator, colleague, and friend. Philippa’s main scholarly area of focus was the history of gender, sexuality, and international law in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her dissertation and first book project (currently being prepared for publication) dealt with the emergence of a transnational moral panic around “white slavery” aimed at restricting the international sex trafficking of women from the Russian Empire and the early Soviet Union, and the codification of this impulse into international law under pressure both from feminist activists and imperial officials in the 1910s and 1920s.1 A militant, committed feminist, Philippa nevertheless remained skeptical of the movement’s tendency—especially, but not exclusively, on the part of its liberal wing—to trust in the carceral state as a partner in the pursuit of gender equality and the protection of women’s rights. As her work

菲利帕·赫瑟林顿,伦敦大学学院斯拉夫和东欧研究学院(SSEES)俄罗斯和欧亚历史讲师,于2022年11月5日因癌症去世,享年38岁。如此英年早逝是一场深不可深的悲剧,但在她作为俄罗斯帝国和苏联历史学家的岁月里,菲利帕已经能够为我们的领域贡献开创性的奖学金,并建立了一个充满活力的研究人员和活动家社区。作为一名澳大利亚出生的学者,她曾在美国学习,最后在英国工作,她以一种看似毫不费力又必要的方式跨越了地理和学科的界限。在这个纪念活动中,我们试图通过与国际社会成员一起纪念她的工作来纪念她的遗产,认识到她的力量不仅是作为一个富有创造力和原创性的思想家,而且是作为一个合作者、同事和朋友。菲利帕的主要学术领域是19世纪末和20世纪初的性别、性行为和国际法的历史。她的论文和第一本书(目前正准备出版)论述了围绕“白奴”的跨国道德恐慌的出现,这种恐慌旨在限制俄罗斯帝国和苏联早期的国际性交易妇女,以及在20世纪10年代和20年代女权主义活动家和帝国官员的压力下,这种冲动被编纂成国际法作为一名激进的、坚定的女权主义者,菲利帕仍然对这场运动的趋势持怀疑态度——尤其是,但不是唯一的,在自由主义方面——相信在追求性别平等和保护妇女权利的过程中,联邦政府是一个合作伙伴。作为她的工作

期刊介绍: A leading journal of Russian and Eurasian history and culture, Kritika is dedicated to internationalizing the field and making it relevant to a broad interdisciplinary audience. The journal regularly publishes forums, discussions, and special issues; it regularly translates important works by Russian and European scholars into English; and it publishes in every issue in-depth, lengthy review articles, review essays, and reviews of Russian, Eurasian, and European works that are rarely, if ever, reviewed in North American Russian studies journals.
