Research Interests
Dr. Musekamp is currently preparing his second book for publication (From Paris to St. Petersburg and from Kovno to New York. A Cultural History of Transnational Mobility in East Central Europe). The manuscript analyzes the impact of the railroad on the development of international networks in the nineteenth century. Professor Musekamp examines the role that infrastructure plays in the development of social networks and economic systems, with a special focus on East Central Europe. His new research project deals with the history of Volhynia’s German speakers as a transnational history of migration and integration.
