George L. Mosse Teaching Fellowships in European History

---

Former students of George Mosse who wish to honor their teacher in a way that acknowledged his commitment to teaching, and his extraordinary ability to inspire his students established the George L. Mosse Teaching Fellowship in 1992. Contributions to the teaching fellowship fund by former students, other alumni, colleagues, and friends underwrite one teaching fellowship per semester. The Teaching Fellowship allows an advanced PhD student under the supervision of the doctoral advisor to develop and teach an undergraduate course, and to gain valuable teaching skills. The Mosse Teaching Fellow is considered a part of the Department of History faculty and has full responsibility for teaching an undergraduate class. The fellowship recipient creates the syllabus, selects the textbooks, has an office, maintains office hours, and is listed as the instructor of the course in the timetable. The fellowship comes at an important juncture, as the final year is often the most difficult for a doctoral student to finance. Funding assists the student to complete his or her dissertation in European history, and gain important teaching experience. The Graduate Fellowship Committee of the Department of History chooses Mosse Fellows, with consideration given to the applicant’s academic record and prior performance as a teaching assistant.

Outstanding graduate students can be inspiring teachers as they are still in the process of learning and sharing knowledge. Being younger in age, their enthusiasm is especially valued by the undergraduate students.

The following graduate students have been awarded Mosse Teaching Fellowships:

• Susan Dinan - Women in Europe 1500-1830
• Susan Boettcher - The City & Urban Life in Early Modern Europe
• Daniel Kowalsky - Revolution and Civil War in Twentieth-Century Europe
• Erik Jensen - Weimar Germany: Society, Politics, and Modernity
• Alison Schulz - Revolutionary Britain: Civil War and Commonwealth
