Research Abstract: <\/strong>With the guidance of Professor Alyssa Gillespie, I spent 10 weeks working on two projects which focused on bringing a voice to underrepresented groups in Russia. The first project was helping Professor Gillespie find works to use for a course titled “Inter-Ethnic Encounters in the Russian Cultural Space.” My second project was a research paper based on Indigenous literature in Russia and the US, specifically focusing on the ways that writers express trauma. I think both these projects are valuable in furthering study in understudied topics in Russia. This project is vital in creating a space to decolonize and re-humanize perspectives and experiences from groups that have not had the opportunity to tell their own stories. It empowers those who have been silenced and ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[ensemblevideo contentid=eHhARS5y0kGXKhbETpcBjw] Title of Abstract: Exploring Russian Colonial Identities Through a Native American Lens Name of Mentor: Alyssa Gillespie Mentor’s Organization or Department: Department of Russian, Bowdoin College Research Abstract: With the guidance of Professor Alyssa Gillespie, I spent 10 weeks working on two projects which focused on bringing a voice to underrepresented groups …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1141,"featured_media":602,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-592","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-humanities","8":"entry"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/400\/2020\/10\/Shandiin-largo-Imagen_10_11_20_a_las_5.58_p._m..jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1141"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/presidents-summer-research-symposium-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
