Elias Angele is a Research Associate and Doctoral Candidate at the Chair of Contemporary History and Culture of Eastern Europe at the University of Bremen, where he has been working since April 2020. His academic work bridges Eastern European history with polar research, focusing on Cold War scientific exchanges and geopolitical developments.
His educational background includes a Master's degree in 'History in the Public Sphere' from Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg and the University of Bremen (2016-2019), with a thesis titled 'Protect the Revolution! The City Defense Force in Bremen 1919-1921,' and a Bachelor's degree in 'Integrated European Studies' from the University of Bremen (2010-2015), where he wrote about 'Fascism and digital memory. Discourses in Ukrainian Cyberspace.'
Angele's research centers on the History of Science during the Cold War, Polar Research, and Nationalism Studies. His work uniquely connects Soviet polar science with broader Cold War dynamics, examining how scientific endeavors served geopolitical purposes. He has conducted significant research on Soviet Antarctic and Arctic programs, exploring the intersection of science, nationalism, and international relations during the Cold War era.
His publication record reveals a consistent focus on how polar science functioned as both a scientific and political tool during the Cold War, with particular attention to Soviet scientific endeavors. His work also demonstrates expertise in German local history, especially regarding Bremen during the revolutionary period of 1918-1919.
