The word %22World%22 in the title of %22Lutheran World Federation%22 is what caught my eye on this project. I was curious about how St. Olaf people get involved in an international project and also excited to dig deep into this %22real-world application%22 of international cooperations in a politically unstable situation after WWII.<\/p>\n

To answer these questions, my colleagues and I have together visited a few archives as well as interviewing a few related persons. As we read more through the historical documents and books written, we hope to create a historical narrative of this missing parts of the history.<\/p>\n

Those interests led me to Dr. Randall’s project. This project was an opportunity to continue to both hone and grow my skills in these areas. Working with Dr. Randall, we decided that we wanted to prioritize getting a case study on the website. It was my task to figure out the subject of that case study. While combing through our materials, I found mention of Dr. Otonas Stanaitis.
