On Thursday, April 25, from 3 pm to 4:30 pm in HSSB 4080, two UCSB doctoral students, Hayate Murayama of the History Department and Shelby King of the Religious Studies Department, will deliver brief talks based on their original research. Hayate's talk, "Sanitizing Ideology: The Repatriation of Japanese Prisoners of War from the Soviet Union,” discusses the experiences of Japanese POWs held by the Soviet Union during and after World War II, along with the political, cultural, social, and psychological conflicts resulting from their repatriation back to Japan. Shelby's talk, "A 'Great Awakening' for the Cold War: National Security, State Secrecy, and the Leak of the Pentagon Papers,” explores how the revelation of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 provoked public responses that echoed earlier national dramas over religious devotion.
The event is sponsored by the Center for Cold War Studies and International History. Delicious refreshments will be served!
