Education and early work
editGoujon attended the University of Tours and the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne, where she studied economic and social administration.[1] She obtained an MA degree in political science in 1994, also at the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne.[1] She then competed one year of education in Irkutsk, and in 1996 earned a graduate studies degree (fr) in comparative studies on democratic transition in Eastern Europe from Sciences Po.[1]
In 2001, Goujon earned a doctorate in political science under the direction of Dominique Colas (fr).[2] Her thesis was entitled Nationalisme et démocratie à la fin de l'URSS: les fronts populaires d'Ukraine et de Biélorussie (1988-1991) (Nationalism and democracy at the end of the USSR: the popular fronts of Ukraine and Belarus 1988-1991).[2]
Career
editGoujon is a political science professor at The University of Burgundy,[1] and also holds appointments at Sciences Po in Paris and Dijon.[3][4][5][6]
In 2009, Goujon published the book Révolutions politiques et identitaires en Ukraine et en Biélorussie (1988-2008) which arose from her doctoral dissertation. The academic Anna Colin Lebedev wrote that Révolutions politiques et identitaires gave a complete and precise presentation of the institutional and political evolution of Ukraine and Belarus, from the last years of the USSR. The book uses the political and geographic closeness of the two countries to study their comparative political evolutions.[7] Andrei Stsiapanau wrote that Alexandra Goujon uses works on the USSR and its major satellites for periods that have been under-researched.[8][9]
Goujon is a regular contributor to new outlets including France Culture,[3] RTL,[4] France Inter,[5] and La Croix.[6]
