Assistant
Professor of History, Miki Pohl received her B.A. in Liberal Studies
from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington (1989), and
Ph.D. in modern Russian history from Indiana University at Bloomington,
Indiana (1999). Her research focuses on the social history of the
Soviet Union after Stalin, especially the Khrushchev period. Other
research and teaching interests include the history of Kazakstan,
diasporas in the borderlands of the former Soviet Union, youth and
children in Russia and Europe, and Russian and Central European popular
culture.
Pohl is working on a book on the Virgin Lands campaign, a settlement
drive that started under Nikita Khrushchev. It focuses on the interaction
of various ethnic groups in the Akmola region of North Kazakstan,
based on archival research and oral history fieldwork. Other on-going
projects include an article on the cultural resistance in exile of
the Ingush people (they were deported from the Caucasus to North Kazakstan
in 1944).
