edit data

I am trained as a modern European historian. My areas of specialization are twentieth-century German history, gender and sexuality and religion in the transatlantic world. What particularly interests me is how religions have adapted to and been transformed by processes of secularization, modernization, and globalization. I currently work as a freelance editor and translator. My translation languages are German, Spanish, and French. I also read Dutch and Italian.

“In our family histories, the frontier between fact and fiction is vague, especially in the record of events that took place before we were born, or when we were too young to record them accurately; there are few maps to these remote regions, and only the occasional sign to guide the explorer.”
