CERES and JIGES faculty member Prof. James Retallack discusses his recent work and accomplishments with the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch-Dienst, or DAAD). Prof. Retallack, a distinguished expert in the Germany’s Imperial Era, is currently working on a book, “The Workers’ Emperor”: August Bebel’s Struggle for Social Justice and Democratic Reform, 1840-1913. Bebel was a leading influence in the social-democratic movement in 1860s Saxony and is considered one of the founding fathers of Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD).
Prof. Retallack’s conversation with the DAAD (in German) can be found here.
