van Rahden, Till Cluster Member
Till van Rahden is holding the Canada Research Chair in German and European Studies. He aims to develop a new research program to contribute to the writing of a cultural history of the political with an emphasis on the history of civil society, diversity, and democracy in Europe since the French Revolution. To speak of the "political" as opposed to "politics," is to direct attention to power and law, boundaries and nation, equality and justice, identity and difference, citizenship and civility. To explore key episodes in the cultural history of the political in modern Europe, Dr. van Rahden proposes three distinct areas of inquiry, the relationship of democracy and violence in the "Age of Extremes," the fragile and contested renaissance of democracy in postwar Western Europe, and the tension between equality and difference since the Enlightenment. Media Experience: Dr. van Rahden has a great deal of experience responding to TV, Radio and Print Media inquiries. ...
