Bethan L Winter is a Research Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Oxford. She currently holds the Mieroszewski Scholarship in Warsaw, focusing on East-East relations during the Cold War and the intersection of culture and religion under socialism. Her research integrates historical acoustemology, sensory history, and the history of emotions to analyze how sound and cultural exchanges shaped political and social experiences in the 20th century.
- Teaching roles include courses on Cold War Europe (1945-68), Global 20th Century history, and transnational histories of Europe.
- Additional teaching in the Department of Politics and International Relations (Cold War International Relations) and Music disciplines (e.g., World Jazz, Transnational Cultural History).
Her doctoral work examined East German cultural and musical diplomacy, analyzing the German Democratic Republic’s engagement with the Global South. She advocates a 'pericentric' approach to Cold War studies, emphasizing non-Western and non-Eastern bloc perspectives. Current research explores paradoxes in socialist regimes’ suppression of religion while promoting historic religious artistic expression.
Awards include the Mieroszewski Scholarship, supporting her Warsaw-based research. No grants or labs are explicitly mentioned in available texts.
