Project(s)

As DAAD Visiting Professor for German and European History, I specialize in the history of nationalism and Catholicism in Hungary, Germany, and Italy in the 19th and 20th centuries. Since 2004 I have been working on a project on the transnational history of Catholicism in Hungary. My main publications include the books: Ungarn seit 1945 (2006), Nation, Konfession, Geschichte. Zur nationalen Geschichtskultur Ungarns im europäischen Kontext (1860-1948) (2003) and Tra Stato e Società. Le élites amministrative in Italia e Prussia (1860-1918) (2002). Together with Malte Rolf I edited the volume Rausch und Diktatur (2006) and together with Jan C. Behrends and Patrice Poutrus a book on Antiamerikanismus im 20. Jahrhundert (2005).
