Research Interests

Karen Hagemann joined the UNC-CH faculty in July 2005. Her research in Modern German and European history and Women's and Gender history (18th to 20th centuries) includes studies in the fields of social and population policy, labor history, family history and the history of everyday lives, as well as the history of the women's movement. The more recent research focuses on a gendered history of military, war and the nation, the history of masculinity and citizenship, and on a comparative gender history of post-1945 welfare and education systems. She is currently directing two international research projects: first, the transnational project "Nation, Borders and Identities: European Experiences and Memories of the Period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars" (funded by the British Arts and Humanities Research Board and the German Research Foundation), and second, the interdisciplinary project "The German Half-Day Model: A European Sonderweg? The 'Time Politics' of Public Education in Post-war Europe: An East-West Comparison" (funded by the German Volkswagen Foundation). Her most recent book publications are: Masculinity in Politics and War. Gendering Modern History (ed. with Stefan Dudink and John Tosh, 2004); Frieden - Gewalt - Geschlecht. Friedens- und Konfliktforschung als Geschlechterforschung (ed. with Jennifer Davy and Ute Kätzel, 2005); Militärische Erinnerungskultur. Soldaten im Spiegel von Biographien, Memoiren and Selbstzeugnissen (ed. with Michael Epkenhans and Stig Förster, 2006); Gendering Modern German History. Rewriting Historiography (ed. with Jean H. Quataert, 2007, in German 2008); Representing Masculinity: Male Citizenship in Modern Western Culture (ed. with Stefan Dudink and Anna Clark, 2007); Civil Society and Gender Justice. Historical and Comparative Perspectives (ed. with Sonya Michel and Gunilla Budde, 2008); Soldiers, Citizens and Civilians: Experiences and Perceptions of the French Wars, 1790-1820 (ed. with Alan Forrest and Jane Rendall). She is currently working on a new book entitled Nation, War and Gender: Prussia's Wars against Napoleon in History and Memory .
