Helene Levesque Independent Researcher My current research is centered on individual and family memory, its construction and expression, by victims of Soviet repressions. It also involves the study of life writing, and of national and individual identity construction, in the context of Russian and Kazakh history. I am interested in discussing these topics, as well as the interactions of memory and history discourses. |
