Doctoral Candidate in History
About
I am a Doctoral candidate in History at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am also affiliated with the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies, where I am completing a Graduate Certificate Program in Judaic Studies. I am interested in Modern German-Jewish History, particularly looking into the processes of categorization and self-identification, as well as the concepts of identity and race in the first half of the twentieth century.
