Emma Gilligan received a Ph.D. in Russian History at the University of Melbourne, Australia and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History at the University of Chicago from 2003 to 2006. During this time, she completed her book Defending Human Rights in Russia: Sergei Kovalyov, Dissident and Human Rights Commissioner, 1969–1996 (Routledge, 2004). This book traces the evolution of the Soviet human rights movement from the 1960s in Moscow to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Her second book, Terror In Chechnya: Russia and the Tragedy of Civilians in War (Princeton University Press, 2010), examines the war crimes committed by Russian soldiers against the civilian population of Chechnya. The study places the conflict in Chechnya within the international discourse on humanitarian intervention in the 1990s and the rise of nationalism in Russia. Gilligan is the author of articles for the Chicago Tribune, including the article “Why there is no Peace in Chechnya” (2005), and “US Loses High Ground on Human Rights” (2006) in the International Herald Tribune. She has appeared on MSNBC, Al Jazeera, and Radio Liberty. She teaches courses on the history of human rights and genocide after the Second World War at Indiana University.
