Rose Grimshaw

In 2023 I graduated with a BA in History from the University of Manchester, where I chose elective modules in Russian studies and language. For my undergraduate dissertation, my interest in cultural exchange between Britain and Russia led me to focus on soft power, cultural diplomacy, and security in the early period of the Cold War. The research areas that I am interested to explore at Oxford include Russian cultural adaptations of statehood and economic theory, misuses of history, and cultural exchange. I hope eventually to work in diplomacy or related fields of international relations.
