Having received the doctorate in
cultural and intellectual history of Modern Europe under
Peter Reill and Hayden White at the University of
California, Los Angeles, Petermichael von Bawey was
nominated Andrew W. Mellon Faculty Fellow at Emory
University where he taught courses on the graduate and
undergraduate level in the English, German and History
Department. The following year, he was awarded an Alexander
von Humboldt Faculty Fellowship by the German government to
pursue post-doctoral studies under Hans Robert Jauss at the
University of Constance, Germany. Wishing to stay in Europe
and teach interdisciplinary courses, he joined the American
College of Switzerland, where he taught European History,
German Literature and Modern Philosophy while engaged in
establishing the Faculty Association and participating in
the College’s accreditation in the United States. Invited to
Paris, his move entailed organizing a degree program in
European Cultural Studies at the American College, where he
developed “European Urban Culture” with the study of
European cities, teaching courses on Berlin, Paris and
Vienna. After the University advanced the study of history,
he introduced the degree program in “History and Social
Sciences.”
His research interests started with studies on the inter-war
years in Europe and on Weimar Germany, publishing a book,
essays and reviews on the cultural influence of Bertolt
Brecht. Subsequent participation in the University’s
curricular development led to his research and publication
in urban culture with conferences, exhibits and essays on
Berlin and the Berlin Wall.
In Fall Semester 2005, the University appointed him
University Professor. |
