Professor James Krapfl will spend six months in the academic year 2018-19 as a fellow at the Imre Kertész Kolleg in Jena. He will be working on his project “The Other 1968: A Cultural History of East Central Europe in the Prague Spring Era,” which compares mentalities and patterns of political engagement in Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, and Poland at the grassroots level in the late 1960s. Affiliated with the Friedrich Schiller University, the Kolleg is an institute for advanced study focusing on twentieth-century east central and southeastern Europe.
