Research and teaching interests include migration studies, German and global history, and First World War studies. My monograph on German diasporic nationalism during the nineteenth century was named a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title. A co-authored monograph is forthcoming with Oxford University Press and entitled ‘Enemies in the Empire. Civilian Internment in the British Empire during the First World War’.
