This article offers strategies for a peace pedagogy that is informed by combining techniques from feminist theory and peace studies with the digital humanities. Here we describe how the first-year Writing Seminar “Peace Testimonies in Literature & Art,” taught in Spring 2017 at Haverford College, collaborated with the activist organization the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) to participate in the collection and curation of oral histories projects. In this class, students conducted oral history interviews of peace activists at the 2017 AFSC symposium “Waging Peace: AFSC’s Summit for Peace and Justice” (April 20-23 in Philadelphia, PA), and then analyzed the videos of these interviews through OHMS (Oral History Metadata Synchronizer) and the video editing software Camtasia. Here we discusses how feminist, digital, and peace pedagogies can be combined to help students recover the lost histories of pacifist activism.

Researchers often need to be able to search a corpus of texts for a defined list of terms and historians are often interested in certain places named in a text or texts. This lesson details how to programmatically search documents for a list of terms, including place names and then how to obtain coordinates and map historical place names with the World Historical Gazetteer.

This article details the origins of the human right to international asylum. While previous works locate its beginnings in East–West political conflict in the 1950s, I note the importance of American opposition to the Soviet invasion of Poland and the Baltic countries in 1939–40 and its later consequences for relief work with post-war Displaced Persons from those countries. Given that Eastern European states at the UN claimed to protect people displaced from these non-recognised territories, British and American delegates were forced to create a new refugee definition that allowed DPs to reject state protections and to seek asylum as refugees. Cet article explique en détail l’origine du droit humain à l’asile international. Alors que les travaux précédents en placent l’origine dans le conflit Est-Ouest des années cinquante, je souligne l’importance de l’opposition américaine à l’invasion soviétique de la Pologne et des pays baltes en 1939–40 et ses conséquences ultérieures pour les activités humanitaires en faveur des personnes déplacées issues de ces pays. Étant donné que les états d’Europe de l’Est siégeant aux Nations Unies prétendaient protéger les personnes déplacées de ces territoires non reconnus, les délégués britanniques et américains ont été forcés de créer une nouvelle définition de réfugié qui permette aux personnes déplacées de rejeter la protection d’un état pour demander l’asile en tant que réfugiés. Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit den Ursprüngen des Menschenrechts auf internationales Asyl. Frühere Arbeiten siedeln die Anfänge dieses Konzepts im politischen Konflikt zwischen Ost und West in den fünfziger Jahren an. Der Autor weist in diesem Zusammenhang jedoch auf die Bedeutung des amerikanischen Widerstands gegen den sowjetischen Einmarsch in Polen und ins Baltikum in den Jahren 1939–40 und dessen Auswirkungen auf Hilfsmaßnahmen für Flüchtlinge und Vertriebene aus diesen Ländern nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hin. Die in den Vereinten Nationen vertretenen osteuropäischen Staaten behaupteten, aus diesen nicht anerkannten Gebieten geflüchtete Personen zu schützen. Die britischen und amerikanischen Delegierten waren daher gezwungen, eine neue Definition des Begriffs ‘Flüchtling’ zu formulieren, die es solchen Personen erlaubte, den Schutz dieser Staaten abzulehnen und als Flüchtlinge Asyl zu beantragen.

This article asks, on a systemic scale, how published articles in “Slavic Studies” do and do not reflect critically on race and other cultural constructions of identity. Digital Humanities methods provide a digital bird's-eye view of over 100,000 scholarly texts, primarily in Russian and English, through three computational approaches: frequency analysis, topic modeling, and perspectival modeling. The authors demonstrate that there is an absence of critical tools for conducting research about race in our field, despite a prevalence of racialized subject matter. These results offer a data-based refutation of the common misconception that race is outside the scholarly concerns of our field. Rather, the data affirms student accounts of the field's inadequacies in grappling with race and racism, both in historical objects of study and in the world that scholars navigate. Digital methods also locate scholarship inside and outside Slavic Studies that offers positive guidance for future work.
