Professor Lydic’s interdisciplinary research focuses on conflict, memory, power, and gender in Anglophone, Francophone, Russophone and (ex-)Yugoslav literatures, film, and art.  Broadly, Lydic’s areas of interest revolve around the discursive production of local and transnational knowledges during and after violent conflicts; intersectional issues of gender, race, class, sexuality, and dis/ability; and cross-cultural adaptations, appropriations, and translations.
