Teaching

My new project, tentatively titled, The Bodies of the Others. A History of German Sports, Medicine, and Dance in a Global Context, 1700-1914 is an attempt to understand the global entanglements of the German body and its practices. I am also involved in a project that introduces the field of health humanities into the study of German eighteenth-century culture and society.
