Ph.D., McGill University, 1994

Teaching

I teach a variety of upper-level courses and graduate courses in European History and Russian-Soviet History from the 1500s until today and advise Honors and Graduate students who specialize in these regions' history. I have supervised doctoral dissertations on Early Modern Britain, the Dutch Republic, the British Empire, the First World War, and post-unification Germany, and am supervising a doctoral dissertation on twentieth-century Britain, and serve(d) on a number of PhD dissertation committees. I am also advising two PhD students working on US foreign policy during the Cold War and one PhD student working on modern Russian and Soviet history. I have also supervised (and am supervising) a number of Master's theses and undergraduate Honors' theses.

Research

With my first book coming out in 1999, I have written eleven monographs, edited one essay collection, translated one text from Early Modern Dutch to modern Dutch that I edited and annotated, and, most recently, co-wrote a book on Soviet and Nazi posters. The topics covered in these books address a variety of topics in Early Modern and modern Russian, Soviet, and Dutch history. In addition, I have published numerous articles and book reviews. In recent years, I have mainly focused on the Russian-Soviet and Dutch empires, while I am still working at the moment on book-length projects on the Soviet Union and the Dutch Early Modern empire. I am also currently the editor of the peer-reviewed journal The Historian, a position which I earlier occupied from 2008 to 2018. As such, I have overseen the publication of myriad articles and book reviews on a great variety of topics, from Korean, Afghan and Central-Asian history to the history of Early Modern England and Early America, US labor history and the history of the Cold War.
