Europe on Fire

And yet never has Europe been in such danger.”

POSTGRADUATE ADVISING Mark T. Kettler, who recently received a Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley, and Notre Dame alumnus, served the Institute this year as its first postdoctoral research associate. He is a historian of Germany and East-Central Europe who studies imperialism and colonialism to analyze larger questions of national identity and the relationship of ethnic minorities to the modern state. Having won the Institute's Barrett Prize for Best Undergraduate Research Proposal in 2011, Dr. Kettler was thrilled to return to serve the Institute where his love of European Studies first blossomed. Dr. Kettler explored new avenues of research, began developing his dissertation into a manuscript, and served as an instructor in the Institute’s new curriculum in European Studies. He has accepted the Institute’s offer to continue in this capacity for a second year.

Mark Kettler '12 explored original source materials in Germany with the Barrett Prize for Best Undergraduate Research Proposal in 2011.

2018-19 DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIPS Matteo Bianchetti is a doctoral candidate in philosophy who is interested in the cultural history and philosophy of mathematics. Bianchetti spent the year writing a dissertation on how European mathematicians of the past three centuries commonly used geometric language to describe non-geometric topics. Bianchetti believes this practice represents a “deep interplay between scientific, cultural, religious, and intellectual creativity in Europe” and is investigating its philosophical significance.

Ashley Foster, a doctoral candidate in history, is studying how Scottish laypeople in the early 18th century reacted to the unification of Scotland and England. Scholars have long argued that Scottish loyalty to Britain prevented a revolutionary backlash, but Foster believes this is unfairly based on the attitudes of elites—ordinary Scots in Reformed Presbyterian communities tell a much different story.

Charles Yost, one of the first doctoral candidates in Byzantine Studies through the Medieval Institute, is writing a dissertation entitled “The Thought and Ministry of a ‘Unionist Priest’: John Plousiadenos, the Council of Florence, and the Tradition of Byzantine Christianity in Union with Rome.” During a time of deep division between Latin and Greek churches during the 14th century, John Plousiadenos advocated unity. Yost interprets and gives voice to the writings of Plousiadenos and other unionists of his time—many of which have not been translated into any modern language—and situates them into their historical context.

Raymond “JR” Drause is a doctoral candidate in history and spent the year writing about the influence of nineteenth-century political exiles on Siberian development and the Russian imperial project. After four years living in St. Petersburg, Russia, he returned to the US for doctoral studies. He won the Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Award from the Kaneb Center for Teaching and Learning for two consecutive years. He is a co-founder of the Fulbright Students’ Association at the University of Notre Dame.

Heather Stanfiel is a historian of memory and public history in modern Europe, whose work explores the relationships between different versions of the past—and their proponents and audiences—as they compete for influence in the public sphere. She was the winner of the 2018-19 Annese Dissertation Fellowship and successfully defended her dissertation on empire and commemoration in pre-Independence Ireland this spring. Stanfiel has accepted an offer to serve as a postdoctoral research associate at the Institute for the 2019-20 year.

"Jake’s project resolves not simply to catalogue these changes and lament the loss of the past—he means to solve the problem of reconciling security and public life through inspired, permanent, built solutions. By examining cities that have faced the threat of violence for centuries, he proposes using this intelligently gathered information to create new urban designs that will keep people safe while also preserving the most precious qualities of community: making people aware both of their vast and colorful differences and of the way that these differences can come together to create a sense of civic cohesion, and, as he insists, to build democracy."

UCU stands as the first new Catholic university on the territory of the Soviet Union and is critical to rebuilding a culture of dignity and fighting corruption in the region. The University further recognized this connection by honoring Archbishop Borys Gudziak with the Notre Dame Award in June. Archbishop Gudziak previously offered the Institute’s Keeley Vatican Lecture and in accepting the award acknowledged that “the University of Notre Dame, especially the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, has been particularly open and generous with UCU.” In recognizing his visionary leadership, the Institute has embarked on a new collaboration with UCU that will both include research and provide policy direction on the role of religion in civil society. William Collins Donahue and Clemens Sedmak presented at a panel discussion in Lviv that was attended by Archbishop

The Institute has also continued its commitment to the Catholic Leadership Institute, which to date has brought almost 60 academic leaders to campus for an intensive course on strategic planning, organizational evaluation, philanthropy development, and leadership skills. This year, for the first time, the program was supported by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Fund to Aid the Catholic Church in Central and Eastern Europe and a generous donation from Nanovic Institute advisory board member James Hummer.

The partnership hosted an annual meeting in Hungary

In addition to an official letter of support, this network demonstrated deeper connections to the country beyond Bratislava.

Lemke noted, “These connections and support were absolutely necessary for me, not just to put forward a competitive application, but to help make my project a reality. The support from the Nanovic Institute gave me the confidence to approach the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to do additional preliminary research in support of my Fulbright application.” Through a partnership with the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, Lemke will be working in the studio community and incorporating digital fabrication design into his work. In addition, he will be conducting a series of visiting artist workshops with the art education

program at the Catholic University in Ružomberok. Bratislava’s proximity to Vienna, a major capital for contemporary art, enhances the experience for Lemke as both Central and Eastern Europe will enrich his work and research.

This spring, Philipp Schultheiss, a visiting researcher from the University of Marburg, Germany, was an extraordinary guest at the Institute. While remaining steadfast to analyzing empirical data that he gathered from interviewing former soldiers of East Germany’s Nationale Volksarmee (NVA) and completing the central chapter of his dissertation on how these soldiers were portrayed in public during German reunification (and how the soldiers now perceive themselves) Schultheiss enriched his experience at Notre Dame through service to the Institute beyond his personal research. From guest-teaching a class session of “What Is Europe?” to initiating a film screening of the new biopic of East German singer and writer Gerhard Gundermann, Schultheiss demonstrated an exemplary level of generosity and investment from visiting scholars to the Institute’s latest and ongoing initiatives.

The Laura Shannon Prize

UNDERSTANDING LIFE THROUGH DEATH The 2018 Laura Shannon Prize was awarded to The Work of the Dead: A Cultural History of Mortal Remains by Thomas W. Laqueur.

Described by the jury as “a monumental achievement,” The Work of the Dead contains “a vast reservoir of historical information and insights regarding cultural practices surrounding the treatment of the dead that scholars from many disciplines will draw upon for years to come.” In Laqueur’s account, the dead continue to do cultural work for the living: places and spaces like local churchyards and cemeteries connect past and present, revealing and changing

shifts in the ‘deep time’ of western cultural history.

Absorbing scholarship from multiple disciplines and across national lines, Laqueur’s work encourages readers to think differently about Europe as a whole.

Extending his historical interests into the politics of nation-building, Laqueur delivered an acceptance lecture entitled “Bodies Visible and Invisible: Nationalism and the Necro-Politics of the Jewish Cemetery in Modern Thessaloniki,” which described in detail and suggestive speculation how a large Jewish cemetery was erased and pressed into the service of Greek nationalism.

James McAdams, political science, and organizer Steffen Kaupp, German. Evaluating the responses of leading politicians, the fellows also discussed larger

BRITISH LAW, UNIQUE? With the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, the Nanovic Institute co-sponsored a lecture

by Tamar Herzog, Monroe Gutman Professor of Latin American Affairs, Radcliffe Alumnae Professor, Harvard University, on continental perceptions of common law, which many believed to be British and radically different than continental ‘Roman’ or civil law. These perceptions were, and continue to be, based on misconceptions. Surveying the history of legal traditions across Europe, Herzog argued that long-

A CINEMA OF CLOSENESS Filmmaker and photographer Wim Wenders screened his most recent film, Pope Francis: A Man of His Word, in the Leighton Concert Hall of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center. Wenders’s visit was the second in a series of events that formed part of the Notre Dame Forum dedicated to “The Catholic Artistic Heritage: Bringing Forth Treasures New and Old.” The Nanovic Institute was instrumental to the visit. After a tour of the University led by Monica Caro, senior associate director, Wenders sat down with students in German and film for an interview about his life and work. This interview will be published in the forthcoming volume of andererseits: Journal of Transatlantic German Studies, a publication supported by the Nanovic Institute. Afterwards, Wenders visited Notre Dame Studios, where one of the Institute’s former grant winners, Javi Zubizarreta ‘11, serves as senior producer of GrottoND, an international studio focused on producing short films. In the evening, the screening began with opening remarks by James Collins chair of the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, and Wenders himself. The question and answer period included a panel of faculty and students, including Laura Migliore ‘19, a Notre Dame senior majoring in film with a minor in European Studies who also served as a student assistant for the Institute this year.

The Institute remains committed both to interdisciplinary, humanistic studies, and to providing expertise on the economic, social, and political upheavals that have shaken contemporary Europe. The new endowments will help the Institute contribute in perpetuity to the Keough School’s mission of advancing the study of global affairs from a perspective of integral human development.
