Research interests include pre-revolutionary Russia, demographic history, institutions and economic growth, history of ideas about peasant societies. Tracy Dennison received her PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2004. Her doctoral research examines rural institutions in pre-emancipation Russia through an in-depth study of one particular serf community, the Voshchazhnikovo estate in Jaroslavl province. In this study, archival evidence is used to shed light on family and household formation patterns, the rural economy, landlord-serf relations, social networks and social control. The dissertation was awarded the 2004 EHA Alexander Gerschenkron Prize for best dissertation in non-North American economic history. Dr Dennison held the Economic History Society Postan Fellowship in Autumn 2003, and was appointed Research Fellow at the Centre for History and Economics/Robinson College, Cambridge, from January 2004, before moving to Caltech in 2006.
