Lynn Lubamersky is an associate professor of History at Boise State University and is currently on the Board of the Polish Institute of Arts & Sciences in America. She studied history at the University of California at Berkeley and earned her PhD at Indiana University. In 2015 she received a Core Fulbright Scholar Award to Vilnius, Lithuania where she taught at the European Humanities University and researched a project on mapping the vanished communities of the past.
In Lithuania to study the once culturally diverse now vanished communities of the region, Lynn Lubamersky found a BBC TV crew there too, filming “War and Peace.” That’s enough to set a historian thinking about imperial Russia then, imperial Putin now, the communities that don’t want to vanish… and the BBC’s Downton Abbey-style production.
