Research Interests:

My research focuses on what the Black experience in East and West Germany, as well as German conceptions of blackness, can tell us about German attitudes towards Blacks.  Specifically, I am interested in further understanding the character of anti-Black racism in Germany and how Germans came to define race in the aftermath of the Nazis and the Holocaust.
