Born in California, Jeremiah completed his undergraduate work at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he obtained dual Baccalaureates in History and Philosophy. His research and teaching interests include the USSR, India, cultural history, world history, the exchange of ideas, popular culture (primarily comics), and food as a cultural product. Jeremiah’s current research project, tentatively entitled “Reorienting Khrushchev’s USSR: Cultural Diplomacy and the Third World, 1948-1968,” explores Indo-Soviet cultural exchange and how the unintended consequences of Soviet “soft power” in the subcontinent had implications on cultural change in the USSR.
