Description

The migration experiences, career paths, and scholarship of historians born in Germany who started emigrating to North America in the 1950s have had a unique impact on the transatlantic practice of Central European History. German Migrant Historians in North America analyzes the experiences of this postwar group of scholars, and asks what informed their education and career choices, and what motivated them to emigrate to North America. The contributors reflect on how these migration experiences informed their own research and teaching, and particularly discuss the more general development of the transatlantic exchange between German and American historians in the scholarship on Modern Central European History.

Karen Hagemann is the James G. Kenan Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill since 2005. The focus of her work has been German and European history, military history, and women’s and gender history.

Rose, 2020); Umkämpftes Gedächtnis: Die Antinapoleonischen Kriege in der deutschen Erinnerung (2019); and Gendering Post-1945 German History: Entanglements (ed. with Donna Harsch and Friederike Brühöfener, 2019); Revisiting Prussia’s Wars against Napoleon: History, Culture, and Memory (2015).
