Catholicism and the Great War
A transnational comparative history of lived religion and everyday Catholicism in Germany and Austria-Hungary during the Great War.
Local Lives, Parallel Histories
The division of Germany separated a nation, divided communities, and inevitably shaped the life histories of those growing up in the socialist dictatorship of the East and the liberal democracy of the West. This peculiarly German experience of the Cold War is usually viewed through the lens of divided Berlin or other border communities. What has been much less explored, however, is what division meant to the millions of Germans in the East and West who lived far away from the Wall and the centres of political power. This volume is the first comparative study to examine how villagers in both Germanies dealt with the imposition of two very different systems in their everyday lives. Focusing on...
God on the Western Front
From 1914 to 1918, religious believers and hopeful skeptics tried to find meaning and purpose behind divinely willed destruction. God on the Western Front is a history of lived religion across national boundaries, religious affiliations, and class during World War I, utilizing an expansive record of primary sources. Joseph F. Byrnes takes readers on a tour of the battlefields of France, listening to the words of German, French, and English soldiers; going behind the lines to hear from the men and women who provided pastoral and medical care; and reviewing the religious writings of priests, bishops, ministers, and rabbis as they tried to make sense of it all. The story begins with citizens at...
A Supernatural War
How widespread belief in fortune-telling, prophecies, spirits, magic, and protective talismans gripped the battlefields and home fronts of Europe during the First World War.
Designing for the Museum Visitor Experience
Exhibition environments are enticingly complex spaces: as facilitators of experience; as free-choice learning contexts; as theaters of drama; as encyclopedic warehouses of cultural and natural heritage; as two-, three- and four-dimensional storytellers; as sites for self-actualizing leisure activity. But how much do we really know about the moment-by-moment transactions that comprise the intricate experiences of visitors? To strengthen the disciplinary knowledge base supporting exhibition design, we must understand more about what ‘goes on’ as people engage with the multifaceted communication environments that are contemporary exhibition spaces. The in-depth, visitor-centered research un...
Beyond the Balkans
This book shows how current and future research on the social history of the Balkans can be integrated into a broader European framework. The contributions look at a range of methodological and empirical issues, and the theme that links the various studies is that of the contrasting, yet, at the same time, entangled ideas of the Balkans as a "mental map" and of Southeast Europe as an "historical region."

Universitäre Praxisphasen im Fach Geschichte - Wege zu einer Verbesserung der Lehramtsausbildung?
Seit Langem wird erwartet, dass sich die Lehramtsausbildung vor allem durch eine Ausweitung von Praxisphasen im Studium verbessern lässt. An ein breites fachdidaktisches wie fachpraktisches Publikum gerichtet, versammelt der vorliegende Band konzeptionelle Beiträge und erste empirische Befunde, die sich speziell mit universitären Praxisphasen im Geschichtsstudium befassen. Einem fachspezifischen Fokus folgend, behandeln die Beiträge unter anderem das Verhältnis von Fachwissenschaft und Fachdidaktik sowie die Frage, ob ein Mehr an Praxis die Professionalisierung angehender Geschichtslehrpersonen tatsächlich unterstützt.
Sozial. Evangelisch. Innovativ.
Die Evangelische Hochschule Ludwigsburg feierte 2021 ihr 50. Jubiläum als Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften. Mit ihren Vorgängereinrichtungen war und ist sie ein wichtiger Teil der baden-württembergischen Hochschullandschaft. Diesen erfolgreichen Hochschultyp zeichnet die enge Verbindung praxisnaher Lehre mit anwendungsorientierter Forschung aus und trägt mit Forschungsprojekten und Weiterbildungsangeboten zum Transfer in die regionale und überregionale Praxis bei. Am Beispiel der Evangelischen Hochschule Ludwigsburg sollen exemplarisch die historischen, aktuellen und zukünftigen Perspektiven einer HAW mit sozialem und evangelischem Profil und innovativem Anspruch formuliert we...
