Overview

My research focuses on the life and struggle of outsider groups in nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain, the United States and Germany. I am particularly interested in the history of the unemployed, blind people, prisoners of war, and people of African descent. I have also done research on political cartoons and advertising, and have a strong interest in social stereotypes and social movements.

Biography

I was born in Hamburg (Germany) where I started studying Modern and Medieval History, Political Science, and Economics in 1989. After various jobs at the University of Hamburg I received a fellowship from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, where I worked as Graduate Teaching Assistant and studied U.S. History under the supervision of Prof. Roger Daniels for two years.

After being awarded an M.A. 'with distinction' in 1995, I returned to the University of Hamburg for my Ph.D. From 1995 to 1997 I also worked part-time as an export merchant for hotel kitchen equipment. After a five-month research fellowship at the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC I joined the University of the Federal Armed Forces / Helmut-Schmidt-University as research assistant at the Chair for Modern Western European History.

I was awarded a Ph.D. ‘summa cum laude' for my thesis on the impact of race on the American prisoner of war programme during World War Two from the University of Hamburg in 2001. I was appointed Research Fellow at the German Historical Institute London in February 2002 and joined the University of Exeter in March 2007 as Lecturer for Modern History. Since March 2012 I am Senior Lecturer for Modern History.
