As noted in my last post, the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies (LCMSDS) features some great posts from graduate students. Recently, my good friend and colleague Christine Leppard wrote of her experiences researching in London. Her insight into the workings of the British National Archives and the Imperial War Museum archive should be of great value to those embarking on their first research trip to the UK. Additionally, Christine’s experiences emphasis the importance of making the most of unforeseen situations, like the IWM’s expensive copier fees and their ban of an historians best friend, the digital camera. So be sure to read her entire article over at the LCMSDS blog.
The Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies (LCMSDS) has been featuring the research interests of current and former Laurier graduate students on the centre’s blog. Earlier this week, LCMSDS posted my thoughts on the Vietnam War and America’s Cold War relationship with Australia. My thought piece is an overview of how I understand the Vietnam War in a Cold War/Pacific World context. So go read my ideas and those of my LCMSDS friends.
