HiLS Student Interviewed on Kazakhstani TV
The work of Department of History HiLS student Emily Irvine features in this news story that recently ran on Kazakhstani TV: https://qazaqstan.tv/news/195244/ In a course supervised by Sarah Cameron, Emily investigated the history of the Nevada-Semipalatinsk movement in Kazakhstan, the largest grassroots anti-nuclear movement in the Soviet Union. As part of her research, Emily interviewed some of the American participants in this movement. One of them had a large photo collection documenting his participation in the movement and travels to Kazakhstan in the late Soviet era. He wished to donate it, and Emily and Sarah found a home for it at the Kazakh State Archives in Almaty. Sarah was able to hand it to them in person earlier this month and the archivists were thrilled to have this crucial record of their country's history.
Emily's advisor is Tom Zeller.
