Kristen Rogheh Ghodsee (born April 26, 1970) is an American ethnographer and Professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.[1] She is primarily known for her ethnographic work on post-Communist Bulgaria as well as being a contributor to the field of postsocialist gender studies.[2] She was critical of the role of Western feminist nongovernmental organizations doing work among East European women in the 1990s. She has also examined the shifting gender relations of Muslim minorities after Communist rule,[3] the intersections of Islamic beliefs and practices with the ideological remains of Marxism–Leninism,[4] communist nostalgia, the legacies of Marxist feminism,[5] and the intellectual history of utopianism.[6]
