Research Interests

My dissertation, entitled “After Socialism: The Transformation of Everyday Life in Eisenhüttenstadt, 1980-Present,” explores Eisenhüttenstadt’s transformation from the thriving socialist model-city to a declining eastern German town on the Polish border. My research interests include urban history and everyday life in a united Germany and the former Eastern bloc.

    *Though the History Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton’s intellectually dishonest historical and archival work promoted white supremacy. In contrast, Pauli Murray marshaled unassailable evidence and analysis in the service of racial and gender equality. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall in place of Hamilton Hall. An official request with the Chancellor is pending.
