Rebecca Johnston is a doctoral student in the history department at UT Austin. Her primary research is on the implementation of cultural policy in the post-Stalin Soviet Union, particularly the relationship between central and regional institutions. In a former life, she studied as a visual artist and literary analyst, and has worked in Russia and the US as a translator, editor, political analyst, writing consultant, and tutor. She is interested in finding ways to broaden the application of public history within the policy world, as well as ensuring that history is made as relevant to students in the classroom as possible.
