This course will cover the development of natural and social sciences in the
Soviet Union, primarily (although not exclusively) during the Cold War. It will focus in particular
on the interplay between domestic politics, foreign policy, ideology, and the agency of scientists
in shaping Soviet science. The course will also investigate the intricacies of Soviet science
exchange with the United States, as well as Soviet changing perceptions of modernity and
international relations. The topics covered will include: the role of ethnographic knowledge in
Soviet spatial and demographic imagination, the rise and fall of Soviet genetics, the nuclear
arms race and a space race, the relations between Soviet and U.S. social scientists, and others. 4 credits.
