Grateful for the recognition from MAPOR (great and friendly venue to present at, regardless of your rank!) and for the continuing generous support from the @buffett.northwestern.edu

Very happy to begin the archival research stage of my dissertation at the Czech National Archive in Prague! I do still have a lot to learn about the nuts and bolts of archival procedures in CZ :) still excited to begin studying the displacement of Czechoslovak citizens after the 1938 Munich treaty.

1/2 Delighted to begin my engagement here with this recognition of my research and work. That being said, this research would not be possible without the continuing support of @polisciatnu.bsky.social and @buffett.northwestern.edu for which I am very grateful. Also, kudos to all collecting…
