Can you be a spy without knowing it? Despite Professor Kristen Ghodsee’s otherwise ordinary existence at a small college in Maine, many Bulgarians believe she is a spy: her Ph.D. and scholarly books concerning this small, Balkan country merely provide cover for her real employment by the CIA.

(Short essay of about 6000 words. Estimated reading time: 30 minutes).
