GRANTEE
The project aims at recording and analyzing interviews with the staff of the National Science Center Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology which was one of the centers for physical research in the Soviet Union and is also well known worldwide. Creating an interview archive will provide a database for further research of the history of science in Ukraine, popularizing physics and becoming a resource for museum exhibitions. The research includes issues related to the scientific network and changes during the full-scale invasion, work processes in the physics laboratories, as well as individual practices of adjusting to wartime. The methodological framework consists of oral history, postcolonial discourse, and science anthropology.
