Cold War in the Heartland: New Website Launch and Presentation
by Erik Scott (History, KU)<https://crees.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6a727fce53e14140e83ff64d1&id=cb54d28e31&e=4be44e42d3>
Thursday, March 4, 3:30-5:00 p.m.
Online Event


The Cold War in the Heartland website is a new and free resource for students, teachers, and members of the public interested in discovering the sometimes hidden history of this global conflict in the American Midwest and learning about the ways the Cold War’s legacies remain relevant today. Conceived and supervised by CREES Director Prof. Erik Scott, with original research and design completed by graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Kansas, the website brings together rare and unique primary source documents, case studies, and interviews. It also provides tools for teachers and students to learn more, with guided discussions, activities, and an interactive timeline. The event will feature presentations by Professor Scott as well as KU graduate students Preston Decker, Marjorie Galelli, Michael Hill, and Devin McFadden.

This online event will be held on Zoom.

“From Russia (and Kansas) with Love:
The Cold-War Friendships of Soviet and American Women"<https://crees.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6a727fce53e14140e83ff64d1&id=a5ae1a1356&e=4be44e42d3>
by Prof. Alexis Peri (Boston University)
Thursday, March 18, 3:30-5:00 p.m.


This talk brings to light previously unknown and unstudied pen-friendships between Soviet and American women, many of whom hailed from Kansas cities like Englewood and Manhattan. These women exchanged letters and pledged their friendship during WWII, as part of the US-USSR military alliance, and they kept corresponding during the early Cold War. To have a friend across the "Iron Curtain" was a tremendous political risk, and yet participants on both sides continued to write and exchanged around 800 letters by the mid-1950s.
