Anthony McElligott Note: |
Before coming to Ireland, I taught for many years at the university of St. Andrews, and have been a visiting professor in the universities of Hamburg and Michigan, Ann Arbor. I came to the University of Limerick as founding Professor of History in March 2002, and am also Director of the Centre for Historical Research. I am founding editor of Cultural and Social History: The Journal of the Social History Society, which was recently launched. My teaching and research interests are in the social, cultural and political history of Germany and Europe in the twentieth century, and I welcome postgraduates with an interest in Germany in the twentieth century. I have authored many articles in various collections and scholarly journals over two decades, and have written several books, including most recently The German Urban Experience 1900-1945, Modernity and Crisis (London: Routledge, 2001), Useful Bodies, Humans in the Service of Medical Science in the Twentieth Century, editor with Jordan Goodman and Lara Marks, (Baltimore and London, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003), and with Tim Kirk (eds.), 'Working Towards The Führer': Hitler and His Helpers (Manchester University Press, 2003). My new book Rethinking the Weimar Republic, State and Society 1916-1936, will be published by Arnold in 2004. I am now writing a book about murder in interwar Germany and continuing with two projects: a collaboration on 'comparative civic cultures', and research for a book titled 'Indecent Germans: Sex, Society and Politics from Wilhelm II to Adenauer'. Submitted September, 2003 [Editor's Note: McElligott is also the author of the Contested City: Municipal Politics and the Rise of Nazism in Altona, 1917-1937 (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1998)] |
