Doctoral Student in History
About
Ryan Glauser received his Bachelor of Arts in History from SUNY College at Buffalo in 2016 and his joint Master of Arts in Global History from Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt Universität zu Berlin in 2018. Afterwards, Ryan taught History and English in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to middle school and high school students for a year before joining the History department.
His current research broadly focuses on how international organizations, European governments, and post-colonial governments facilitated movement of people, capital, and ideas between the Global North and South in the evolving Global Cold War. The circular nature of these movements led to fundamental restructuring of international organizations and the international system. In particular, Ryan is currently researching Iranian students, who studied in West Germany and were financially supported by development aid programs, in the West German student movement and the evolution of the use of "human rights" and "abuses of human rights" as both groups of students interacted through the 1960s.
