Dr. Claire Shaw (History, University of Warwick) will present a REEEC Noontime Scholars Lecture on her current book project, Socialist Bodies, which considers the history of the body as both a revolutionary dream and an embodied reality under Soviet socialism. This paper will discuss the questions and challenges raised by the project and consider how it responds to wider literatures on the history of the body and of the Soviet Union.
