Recent articles address Gaza conflicts through German memory frameworks and Weimar parallels to U.S. political crises. He has held fellowships at Freiburg Institute of Advanced Studies (2016) and the Leverhulme Trust (2018). His next book will explore Germany's history from WWII to the present in Polity Press's 'Histories' series.
