Bio: Yuri Leving earned his PhD (summa cum laude) in 2002, at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and continued his research in visual arts at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He came to Dalhousie University after two years teaching at The George Washington University (2004-2006).

His main field of interest is Russian literature, culture and film. Leving is the author of a book, Train Station – Garage – Hangar. Vladimir Nabokov and Poetics of Russian Urbanism (2004, Short-listed for Andrey Bely Prize). He also co-edited two volumes of articles, Eglantine: Collection of Philological Essays to Honor the Sixtieth Anniversary of Roman Timenchik (2005) and Empire N. Nabokov and Heirs (2006). Professor Leving published over 60 articles in academic journals in the United States, Canada, Russia, Austria, Israel, and Japan on various aspects of Russian and comparative literature. He served as a commentator on the first authorized Russian edition of The Collected Works of Vladimir Nabokov in five volumes (1999-2001), and was the curator for the exhibition “Nabokov’s Lolita: 1955–2005” in Washington, DC, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the publication of Lolita. He is the founding editor of the Nabokov Online Journal (since 2007).
