Jeremy King
Associate
Professor of History
Jeremy King,
who has taught at Mount Holyoke College since 1996, is a historian of modern
Central Europe. He recently completed a study of Czech and German nationalism
between 1848 and 1948 in the Bohemian lands -- which now make up the Czech
Republic. (See http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/7392.html)
His current research focuses on the "small compromises" of 1905-1914
in the Austrian half of the Habsburg Monarchy. Those constitutional reforms,
implemented in the crownlands of Moravia, the Bukovina, and Bosnia-Herzegovina,
and planned as well for Galicia and Bohemia, amounted to remarkably complex
and innovative attempts at reconciling mutually opposed "nations,"
or national movements, within a single state. He is also researching questions
connected to legal and historiographical definitions of such concepts as
"nation," "ethnic group," and "race."
Professor King received an undergraduate degree in Russian and East European
Studies from Yale College in 1985, and a doctoral degree in history from
Columbia University in 1998. He has held research fellowships at Harvard
University and at the recently founded American Academy in Berlin, and has
lived for several years in various cities of the former Habsburg Monarchy,
including Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. In the summer of 1989, he held an
internship at the Hungarian Section of Radio Free Europe, in Munich.
At Mount Holyoke, Professor King teaches courses in modern Central European
history, and regularly teaches History 151, "Modern and Contemporary
Europe" -- a requirement for the International Relations major. He
also teaches courses concerning nationalism, ethnicity, and race.
