Germany has been something of an obsession of mine since my father was stationed in Kaiserslautern with the US military when I was a child. Ever since, I have been devouring everything I could about Germany and German history. Something interesting I discovered was that the history of Germany since before WWI is rarely talked about and sometimes difficult to obtain information on. While studying at Hunter College, I took a class called "German History and Culture" which shed a lot of light on not only the history of Germany, but the complicated relationship Germans and history scholars have with the nation's history due to much of it's "grander" moments that could form a sense of national pride being co-opted and thus stained by Hitler and his white supremacy. In this class, I hope to give Germany the same treatment that other large European countries, like England or Italy, often get in regards to its history: a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

I also took a class called "Early Modern Christianity" in which we studied the Protestant Reformation and its leaders, many of whom were German, extensively. 
In addition to studying German culture and history, I have also studied German language formally at Brooklyn College for 1 year and informally for 6 years. I have traveled throughout Germany, from the north to the south. I extensively researched Germany and Turkey's relationships during a History of Turkey class in college as well, which also included research in regards to German attitudes towards immigrants. My Master's in Adolescent Education in Social Studies thesis focused on comparing the education systems of the US and Germany, with some emphasis as to how each country treats its national history.
