Research Interests
Konrad H. Jarausch has written or edited more than thirty books in modern German history. Starting with Hitler's seizure of power and the First World War, his research interests have moved to the social history of German students and professions German unification in 1989/90, with historiography under the Communist GDR, the nature of the East German dictatorship, as well as the debate about historians and the Third Reich. More recently, he has been concerned with the problem of interpreting 20th-century German history in general, the learning processes after 1945, the issue of cultural democratization, and the relationship between Honecker and Breshnew. At the same time he has been involved in discussions about quantitative methods in history, problems of postmodernism, and questions of European memory culture. Currently he is beginning to work on German responses to the challenge of globalization.
He has co-founded the UNC Center for European Studies, just finished co-directing a new research institute on contemporary history in Potsdam, Germay, but is now returning to full-time teaching in Chapel Hill. He is devoting special efforts to training advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
