Specialization:
European Empire History.
I currently teach HIST 104, the History of the Modern World, as well as courses examining
European imperialism and decolonization. My other teaching and research
interests include social and cultural responses to war and trauma,
especially memorialization and commemoration; the Netherlands; World
Wars One and Two; the Holocaust and comparative genocide; and the
development of legal, political, and popular discourses concerning human
rights. |

Biography:
A
native New Yorker, I received my Ph.D. and M.A. in Modern Western
European History from Columbia University, and my B.A. in anthropology
from Fordham University. I have also studied at both the University of
Amsterdam and the University of Helsinki.
At present, I am
working on a manuscript entitled The Kingdom Shall Rise Again: Dutch
Resistance, Collaboration, and Imperial Planning in the Nazi-Occupied
Netherlands. This work examines Dutch experiences with war,
occupation, imperialism, decolonization, specifically focusing upon the
attempts of leading anti-Nazi resisters to create a new “imperial
consciousness” in the wartime Netherlands.
I will not be
teaching classes this spring, as I will spend January-May 2008 in
residence at the Remarque Institute of New York University. |
