I study the history of modern east central Europe, focusing on social movements, nationalism, and popular culture at the beginning of the twentieth century.
I am currently interested in workers’ politics in Habsburg Austria during the First World War. To approach this topic in a new way, I hope to use the digital tools and transnational access offered by the CENDARI project, which I am also helping to coordinate. This stage of my research is a continuation of my dissertation project, which presented a cultural history of ethnic nationalism among Czech and Austrian-German socialist workers in the period 1890-1914.
