Dissertation Title: Socialist Realist Science: Constructing Knowledge about Soviet Rural Life, 1945-1958. My project examines the interaction between social scientists and collective farmers in the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1958. It investigates the knowledge produced about collective farms as a product of two distinct cultures: a scientific urban and a peasant rural culture. The project sheds light on the social sciences as a profession, their interactions, research and methodology of rural life, and the social and cultural world of Soviet collective farmers.
