Department of History

"I graduated from Northern Michigan University with a B.A. in History and German studies, and spent a year as an English teaching assistant with the Fulbright Program in Wittenberg, Germany. My research interests focus on analyses of the Holocaust and other Nazi crimes that emerged from the global South in the era of decolonization that followed the Second World War, and how these anticolonial perspectives contributed to building Germany’s national culture of Holocaust memory from the 1950s on. More broadly, I aim to examine how Holocaust memory has figured into debates on colonialism and reparations in Germany up to the present day."
