研究
My research focuses on large technological systems, also known as infrastructure, 主要在德国. Why 和 how were systems for water, transportation, energy, 和 communications built, 和 how were they operated? Building 和 operating infrastructures required careful attention to the knowledge 和 know-how needed to resolve problems at local, regional, national, 和 transnational levels of governance. 这些问题 involved economic, social, political, 和 environmental issues in the hidden -- 和 sometimes not so hidden -- technological integration of regions 和 nations. 自 it may be clear if infrastructures work, they provide a basis for comparative history. Where do they work 和 why do they work? Part of Science 和 Technology Studies, this research area provides an interdisciplinary approach to the world in which we live.
At the 网赌上分平台, I teach several courses in Science 和 Technology Studies: the history of 科学, the history of technology, environmental history, 和 an interdisciplinary course combining the history, sociology, 和 philosophy of 科学. In addition, I teach German History, The Modern Western World, 和 Europe 在二十世纪. My most recent special topics course investigated the age 1914年到1945年间的战争.
