Dr. Schramm's research centers on consumer history, the history of the textile industry, cartography, knowledge and innovation systems, labor history, and environmental history. His work often explores the interplay between regional identity and broader national or global developments, particularly in the context of industrialization and consumption patterns. He emphasizes long-term historical perspectives and comparative methodologies.
The most recent scholarly outputs reflect a multidisciplinary approach, combining social, economic, cultural, and technological history. His publications span from studies on consumption identity in Saxony to the history of scientific innovation in the GDR, and from the evolution of cartographic practices to the social implications of industrial labor. A recurring theme is the transformation of social and economic structures in modern Europe, especially in Germany.
Dr. Schramm is currently leading a DFG-funded research project on child labor in the Saxon textile industry from 1800 to 1938, which aims to provide a comprehensive, long-term analysis of child labor using previously unexplored archival sources. This project highlights his commitment to uncovering understudied aspects of industrial and social history.
While no specific scientific awards are mentioned in the provided text, his extensive publication record in reputable journals and academic publishers (e.g., Böhlau, Franz Steiner Verlag) and his leadership of a DFG-funded project indicate significant scholarly recognition. He has also co-authored and edited several important volumes in his field.
Dr. Schramm is involved in academic advising and research supervision, though no specific names of students are listed. His collaborative work with scholars like Uwe Fraunholz and Hannes Siegrist demonstrates his integration into national and international research networks. He teaches courses such as 'The Rise of the West' and 'Quantitative Methods in History,' contributing to both undergraduate and graduate education.
He is part of a research working group and contributes to academic colloquia at the university. His current project on child labor involves archival research and likely collaboration with historians, sociologists, and possibly digital humanities experts, suggesting an active research team environment.
