Jennifer Luff Interview 15/10/18

In the second episode of the Cambridge American History Seminar Podcast, Lewis Defrates speaks to Dr Jennifer Luff, associate professor in Modern American History at Durham University. We talk about the paper Dr Luff gave to CAHS, "Secrets, Lies, and the 'Special Relationship' in the Early Cold War'", which touched on a particular episode in early-mid twentieth century surveillance and its potential impact on transatlantic relations, as well as more general questions regarding how historians deal with archival secrets and discoveries. We also discuss academic ethnography, attempts to access whips' papers, and "angry women's music". Enjoy!
