Tim Harte received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2001, joining the faculty at ������̳ a year later. His research interests center on 20th-century Russian literature, film, and culture.

His first book, Fast Forward: , 1910-1930 (University of Wisconsin Press, 2009) explores the modernist “cult of speed” that emerged in Russian avant-garde painting, poetry, and cinema. Meanwhile, his second book, (Univ. of Wisconsin Press, 2020), addresses the emergence of athletics at the beginning of the twentieth century in Russia and its paramount significance for the arts and literary culture.  He has also co-edited two volumes with Marina Rojavin: Soviet Films of the 1970s and Early 1980s: Conformity and Non-Conformity Amidst Decay (Routledge, 2021) and Women in Soviet Film: The Thaw and Post-Thaw Periods (Routledge, 2018). Tim has also published articles on Vladimir Nabokov, the cinema of Aleksei German, the Aleksandr Sokurov film Russian Ark, the “ferroconcrete poetry” of Vasilii Kamensky, among other articles. 

His teaching interests include courses on 20th-century Russian literature (Nabokov, Chekhov), avant-garde culture, contemporary Russian culture, silent cinema, Soviet and Eastern European cinema of the 1960s, and, last but not least, the Russian language.

In his spare time, Tim enjoys long distance running and spending time with his son (Isaac) and daughter (Hazel).
