OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

A people’s census: Soviet war crimes documentation and the history of information
I am a historian of the Soviet Union whose research centers on Stalinism, World War II, the Holocaust, and their intertwined aftermaths. My current book manuscript, Eyes on the Ground: Soviet Investigations of the Nazi Occupation, examines the Extraordinary State Commission established by Stalin’s government in 1942 to gather documentation of Axis war crimes. My second book project, tentatively titled Jewish Choices in Soviet Riga, is a collective biography of Holocaust survivors who worked for Soviet state security organs after World War II only then to be prosecuted themselves in the course of antisemitic repressions during Stalin’s final years. Prior to earning my doctorate, I worked as a digital archivist.
