Susan Smith-Peter, Associate Professor of History, has published a blog, The Russian Revolution and Public History: Expanding America’s Story, with the Slavic and East European Journal, a leading scholarly periodical. Professor Smith-Peter discusses how she curated an exhibit, titled The Russian Revolution: American Perspectives at the New York Public Library in 2017 and how this experience made her appreciate the importance of telling the stories of Americans who have visited and interpreted Russia for the U.S. and the world. Having recently taught in the new Advanced Certificate in Public History as part of the MA in History program, she realized that a new global public history could expand the story of the U.S.. She calls on scholars with expertise in different languages and cultures to engage with public history, which is a field deeply committed to finding and sharing the history of communities within the United States, but does not always connect them to the history of other countries.
