Program

The European Studies Program is happy to announce our new Title VIII Research Scholar, Alice Freifeld. She will be in residence at the Wilson Center until July 2012, working on a project tentatively entitled “Displaced Hungarian Jewish Identity, 1945-48.”

From 1993-1994, Alice was a Wilson Center Research Scholar revising her PhD dissertation. The resulting book, “Nationalism and the Crowd in Liberal Hungary, 1948-1914,” was published by the Wilson Center Press in 2000 and was awarded the Barbara Jelavich book prize by the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies. Alice is a professor of history at the University of Florida. She co-edited East Europe Reads Nietzsche (Columbia U Press, 1998) with Peter Bergmann and Bernice Glatzer Rosenthal and served as the President of the Hungarian Studies Association.
