- Dissertation Title: “The Pursuit of ‘White Security’. Transnational entanglements between West-German and American right-wing extremism, 1961–1980”
- The dissertation comprehensively explored the topic of transnational violent right-wing extremism, which so far has only been the subject of rudimentary historical research. By bringing together primary sources from 19 archives in 6 countries, it reveals the pivotal role of transnational interactions, conferences, and clandestine meetings in the radicalization of the West German right-wing extremist movement between 1961 and 1980. It thereby challenges existing chronologies of radicalisation within the movement as well as explanations of the extreme right’s post-war return.
