I have published a book on Alfred
von Tirpitz and German Right-Wing Politics, 1914-1930 (Atlantic Highlands,
1998) and finished a book manuscript on right-wing women in the bourgeois
parties of Weimar Germany. I have published articles and book chapters on
the history of childhood, on German putschists and right-wing women, and on
Hitler's Swiss funding. I am beginning research on Nazi-occupied Europe in
1940-41. My non-academic pursuits are: classical music (cello), soccer (contact
me if you want to play with some faculty and students at Colby!), and -- most
importantly -- being a father of two small children.
