Jogilė Ulinskaitė

Jogilė Ulinskaitė is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Research Fellow at the Institute of International Relations and Political Science, Vilnius University.

Her research focuses on populism and its links to emotional narratives about the past. In her Ph.D. thesis, completed in 2018 at Vilnius University, she combined content and discourse analysis to investigate whether and how populist understandings of political representation are compatible with party democracy. She has also been part of a research team that carried out several projects on the collective memory of the communist and post-communist past in Lithuania.

Dr. Ulinskaitė’s work at Yale will center on reconstructing the emotional narratives of the post-communist transformation from oral history interviews about the Soviet and post-communist past in Lithuania.
