About Alisa Kuzmina
Hey there! I'm Alisa, a History PhD Candidate in Cultural Cold War History. Thanks to the New Books Network, I get to have conversations with talented historians and simply wonderful people. I’ve noticed that being in this field—whether professionally or not—encourages us to become more reflective and retrospective. I consider it a real privilege when my guests are open to sharing beyond their project outlines. I love talking about meanings, personal connections, and finding ways to engage with history both in and outside of academia.
