Research and Teaching
Interests:
German History; Modern European Social and Military History; History
and Film.
Personal Statement:
I am interested in the intersection between social and military history
and especially in the social and cultural impact of warfare in Europe.
I have worked on a wide-range of subjects, from German political culture
and national identity, to POW and veterans' affairs, to the role of film
in illuminating historical consciousness. I recently completed a book
project that combines many of these interests by examining the material
and ideological effects of the Second World War and its aftermath on former
German officers living in the Federal Republic of Germany. I have two ongoing projects. The first is a study of German war films that examines their role in shaping
public memory of the Second World War.
The second project is a study of the military career and anti-Semitic politics of Erich Ludendorff
I offer courses on European social, military, and film history. I can
prepare graduate students in both German social and military history,
or provide guidance to those interested in Europe as a primary or comparative
field. I especially enjoy teaching comparative courses which seek to understand
the way in which modern societies organize for and are transformed by
war.
