Before
joining the PC history department in the fall of 2008, I taught
modern European history for two years at Wellesley College. I received
my undergraduate degree in history and political science from the
Free
University Berlin in Germany. After finishing my B.A. in 1999, I
participated for a year in the Washington Semester Program at American
University in Washington, DC and worked as an editor for a homeless
newspaper and later as a research assistant for the Institute for
National Strategic Studies. In 2001, I joined the Ph.D. program
in
Comparative History at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA. My research
examines Germany's transformation from Nazi dictatorship into
democracy after WWII. I became interested in democracy development
after serving as a NATO peacekeeper in former Yugoslavia in the
1990s.
My experiences there greatly inspired me to become a teacher and
contribute to the development of democratic values through education.
Here at PC, I will offer courses on the origins and impact of modern
war, especially WWI and WWII. Another class will compare fascist
movements and regimes in Europe, East Asia, Africa, and South America.
