Timothy S. Brown is the author of Weimar Radicals: Nazis and Communists between Authenticity and Performance (Berghahn, 2009). He is co-editor, with Lorena Anton, of Between the Avant Garde and the Everyday: Subversive Politics in Europe, 1958-2008 (forthcoming, Berghahn, 2010). His current project is a monograph entitled 1968: West Germany in the World, which will appear with Cambridge University Press. Professor Brown has published numerous essays on such diverse topics as the relationship of German Communism to the nation, right-wing extremist youth subcultures in England and Germany, and hip hop culture in Germany. Two notable recent articles include “Music as a Weapon? Ton Steine Scherben and the Politics of Rock in Cold War Berlin,” German Studies Review 32/1 (February 2009), and “1968 East and West: Divided Germany as a Case Study in Transnational History,” American Historical Review, Volume 114 (February 2009). Professor Brown is a member of an international research colloquium-the Interdisciplinary Research Forum Protest Movements (IFK) at the Center for American Studies, University of Heidelberg-as well as a member of the German History Workshop, an informal cooperative of historians of Germany working in Boston, Massachusetts. Professor Brown is also a participant in the ongoing Marie Curie Workshop Series on international protest movements under the auspices of the European Union. The most recent of these, “Confronting Cold War Conformity: Peace and Protest Cultures in Europe, 1945-1989,” took place at the Charles University in August 2008. Professor Brown is active, with members of the IFK, in the creation of a new international research initiative entitled “Creating the Political between Europe and the World.” Professor Brown is also helping to launch, with Martin Klimke and Jeremy Varon, a forum on 1968 in the pages of The Sixties. The Brown/Klimke keynote essay, which will appear in the first issue of the forum in fall 2009, will be entitled “Researching the Global Sixties: A New Agenda.”
