I am currently Senior Lecturer in Modern History at the RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau within the Department of Cultural and Social Sciences and its Centre for Human Rights Education. I grew up in the northeastern United States and stayed through my undergraduate education at Harvard. I completed my MA and PhD in international history at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland in 2015, I then spent 11 years in the United Kingdom, first at Oxford as a researcher/tutor and then at Cardiff University as a Lecturer and finally Senior Lecturer in Modern Jewish History in the School of Archeology, Religion, and History. I speak Yiddish and French; רעדט מיט מיר ייִדיש. I have three children and enjoy singing.
