Update from Adam Rosenbaum

Hiking in glorious SW Colorado!

Adam Rosenbaum received his PhD from Emory in 2011. He studied modern German history and his dissertation “Timeless, Modern, and German? The Re-Mapping of Bavaria through the Marketing of Tourism, 1800-1939,” has won two major prizes: the Parker-Schmitt Dissertation Prize awarded by the European History Section of the Southern Historical Association, and the Fritz Stern Dissertation Prize awarded by the Friends of the German Historical Institute in Washington, DC. Adam is currently working at Colorado Mesa University as an assistant professor of modern European and Asian history, where he has taught a variety of classes over the course of the last two years, ranging from East Asia and the Modern World to Tourism and Identity in Modern Europe. He is in the process of revising his dissertation into a book manuscript, and has two forthcoming articles, one in the Spring 2013 issue of The Bulletin of the German Historical Institute and another in the March 2014 issue of Central European History.

 

Update from John Gibson

John Gibson, who graduated in 2010 with Honors in History, is currently in Switzerland on a Fulbright-Swiss Government Research Grant for 2011-2012. He is associated with the Institut d’histoire of the Université de Neuchâtel and the Historisches Institut of the Universität Bern, and has been going to the archives almost every day for his research on diplomatic networks of the French Revolution. This hasn’t kept him from enjoying Switzerland’s magnificent scenery on the weekends, however.
