Biography
Javeline’s publications include Protest and the Politics of Blame: The Russian Response to Unpaid Wages (University of Michigan Press, 2003) and articles in the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Political Research Quarterly, Public Opinion Quarterly, and Law & Society Review. Her two current book projects are “After Violence: Participation over Retaliation in Beslan” and “When Russians Go to Court.”
Javeline is also collaborating with Notre Dame biologists, computer scientists, and other faculty on an interdisciplinary project on adaptation to climate change that has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Provost’s Strategic Academic Planning Committee, the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts, and the College of Science. She is leading a survey of the world’s top environmental biologists on how they assess the scientific, ethical, economic, and legal issues surrounding wildlife adaptation to climate change. The survey project will then be expanded to other stakeholders and include analysis of other adaptation strategies.
Javeline has conducted survey research in the former Soviet Union for the U.S. Information Agency (now State Department) and the U.S. Agency for International Development. She has held fellowships from Fulbright-Hays, Mellon, ACTR, FLAS, Harvard University's Davis Center for Russian Studies, the University of Colorado's Institute of Behavioral Science the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research. In 2011-12, she will be supported by a Mellon New Directions fellowship to study ecology and environmental law.
