Biography:
| DPhil (Oxon), FRHistS |
Research Interests
| My research is focussed on the history of German and Central European political culture in the period between 1871 and 1945. I am particularly interested in the history of memory and the history of violence in Germany and Europe more generally. I am currently working on a history of paramilitary violence after the Great War and a biography of Reinhard Heydrich. |
