I haven’t posted here in a while, so I thought I’d provide a brief update. At this point, I’m halfway through with my courses for the M.A. in history from the University of Pennsylvania. I’ll begin my fifth course, entitled “American Empires,” in a few weeks. With luck, this course’s assignments will provide me with some new content to post here over the course of the fall semester.
From a research perspective, I’ll be turning my attention to the Romanian side of the 1907 election in Austrian Bukovina, beginning by investigating the figure of Gheorghe Grigorovici, the Social Democrat elected from the district of Czernowitz-West in 1907 and 1911. There is surprisingly little available information about him out there in English and German, so at some point, I’ll begin studying Romanian for reading knowledge to see what I can find in the Romanian-language sources about him. I hope to be able to provide at least another chapter of a Master’s thesis on this multiethnic election in 1907 and the people and ideologies that competed.
