Christian Goeschel
I am an expert of modern Europe, with a principal focus on Italy and modern Germany. I have a strong interest in the comparative and transnational history of twentieth-century Europe and am increasingly interested in the history of Europe in the world.
Before joining the University of Manchester, I worked for several years at Birkbeck, University of London, and the Australian National University. I read History at the University of York as an undergraduate and did postgraduate research at the University of Cambridge where I obtained my M.Phil. and Ph.D.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and a former Visiting Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence.
At Manchester, I lead the 'Politics, Institutions, and Ideas' research group, together with Prof. Frank Mort. We also lead the Cultures of Diplomacy research network, together with Dr Thomas Tunstall-Allcock.
Outside Manchester, I co-convene the international Rethinking Modern Europe seminar series at the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, and sit on the editorial advisory board of European History Quarterly.
Research Interests
My research focuses on the history of Europe in the twentieth century, with a particular, but not exclusive interest in Germany and Italy. I study the intersection of politics with culture and society in a European and global perspective.
