Professor Nelson teaches modern European history at the University of Windsor, with a special emphasis on German history, the First World War, and colonialism. In his current research, Professor Nelson investigates the development of a German ‘colonial gaze’ upon Eastern Europe, which began in the 1880s, and radicalized during the First World War. His research interests include the social and cultural history of war and occupation, as well as both overseas and ‘inner’ colonialism.
Dr. Waters’ research interests are in the areas of international human rights law, the law of armed conflict, law and politics in Eastern Europe and bicycling law. He has extensive field experience in the Caucasus and Balkans, including with the UN/OSCE’s Kosovo Mission in 1999-2000, and has been interviewed on Eastern European issues by domestic and international media including CTV, National Public Radio, The New York Times and Agence France Presse. On several occasions he has been deployed by Canada as a monitor for elections in Eastern Europe and has addressed military audiences in Canada and the UK on law of armed conflict issues.
