- About Me
I earned a PhD in European History from UNC-CH in 2001–as the mom of 6 yr old twins and an infant. Since coming to Carroll University, I’ve taught courses on Western Civ, 19th and 20th century Europe, the post ’45 world, Research Methods and Germans’ fascination with the American West. I also teach in Carroll’s cross-cultural core curriculum, regularly offering experiential learning courses in Jewish-American culture and contemporary Germany.
My research focuses on experiences and memories of abrupt socio-political change–German youth in the 1940s, the German expellees, etc. This works rests on both oral history and archival sources.
