Carolina Seminar with Kevin Hoeper (UNC)

Kevin Hoeper is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He focuses on the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century military culture in Central Europe, with a particular focus on the late Habsburg empire and its successor states. Kevin Hoeper is especially interested in the creation and cultivation of military identities during the age of nationalism and empire. His ongoing dissertation project examines regimental traditions in the Austro-Hungarian army and their cultural legacies in the successor state of Czechoslovakia.

The seminar series is co-sponsored by the Carolina Seminar Program, and the UNC Center for Slavic, Eurasian and East European Studies. Please note that the participants will give an overview of their projects, but will not read a formal paper. Instead, papers or book chapters will be circulated ahead of time to those who are interested in attending and participating in the discussion. Please contact Dr. Eren Tasar for more information (etasar@email.unc.edu).
