Mary Gates Endowment at the University of Washington

Meet Melinda Whalen, recently awarded Mary Gates Research scholar.

Alongside mentor and UW professor Dr. Glennys Young, Whalen is researching the evolution of the Soviet cultural scene during and post-WWII.

According to Whalen, “This project uses non-traditional media--poetry, films, and fiction--to examine the development of Russian culture and identity following WWII via the representation of topics such as Russian nationalism, the relationship between honor and death, public opinions on self-preservation vs. the greater good, faith in leadership, and criticisms of communism.”
