Doctoral Candidate in History
About
I am a Doctoral student 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 working under the supervision of Rita Chin, Geoff Eley, Scott Spector, and Jeffrey Veidlinger. My dissertation's tentative title is, “How racial categories become realities: The bureaucratic journeys of “Jewish” petitioners to the Nazi regime, 1933–1945.”
I am currently doing archival research in Berlin.
Last academic year [2020-2021], I was a fellow in the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies at the Freie Universität Berlin.
This academic year [2021-2022], I am a fellow in the Leo Baeck Fellowship program, Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, and affiliated with with Freie Universität Berlin.
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.
