Teaching Fields: Modern Europe, Central and Eastern Europe and Imperial Russia. Research Interests: I have been through a few incarnations during the course of my career—from a political/intellectual historian early on, to a social historian of politics in mid-career, to a senior scholar who refuses to be pigeon-holed but is interested in a broad range of economic, social, cultural, political and gender issues. I am also interested in employing a variety of methodological and theoretical approaches to telling what I hope are compelling stories of what happened in a particular place (central Poland) at a critical juncture in historical time (the late nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries). And, with the acquisition of experience and perspective, my work has become increasingly transnational and comparative. Although my work remains Poland-centered, my stories—most recently about everyday life in Warsaw during the First World War—are better told in larger European frameworks. This is particularly important to a field, such as East European history, that has long been ghettoized.
