Affiliated with Women\u2019s Studies Program and Race and Ethnic Relations Program at Clark, he teaches the Holocaust and Nazi Germany, the relation of gender, war and genocide, and the memory of mass violence. His research explores the relation of war, genocide, and society, long-term traditions of political culture and political emotions in Europe, and the problem of locating the Holocaust and Nazi Germany in the continuities and discontinuities of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas K\u00fchne earned his Ph.D. from the University of T\u00fcbingen in 1992 and taught at the Universities of Konstanz, T\u00fcbingen and Weingarten in Germany thereafter. His initial scholarly work focused on cultural patterns of political conflicts and consensus strategies in 19th and 20th century Germany. His dissertation on electoral politics in Imperial Germany (published 1994) won the German Bundestag Research Prize. Since then, K\u00fchne has been especially interested in synthesizing new approaches to the history of mass violence. His essay collection on the history of masculinities in modern Germany, M\u00e4nnergeschichte-Geschlechtergeschichte (Men\u2019s History\u2014Gender History, 1996) established this field in Central Europe and stimulated a broad range of innovative gender studies. From 1998 to 2001 he served as chair of the German Historical Peace Research Association and engaged in the new cultural military history (Was ist Milit\u00e4rgeschichte, What is Military History, 2000, co-edited with Bejamin Ziemann). Awarded major grants from the German Research Foundation, he completed his habilitation thesis at the University of Bielefeld in 2003. Accepting an invitation from the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, he came to the United States in 2003. He has been at Clark since 2004.

Hitler\u2019s Community, 1918-1945<\/em> (Yale University Press 2010) explores how the Germans switched to community-based violent ethics even before the Nazis came to power, and how the Nazis used the human desire for community to build a genocidal society.
