Hi everyone! My name is Félix Streicher, and I am very excited to join FASoS as a PhD student on 1 January 2021.
I will be working on a case of foreign rule hitherto completely neglected in academic historical research: the Luxembourgish occupation zone in post-war Germany (1945–1955).
The main focus of the project, which is supervised by Camilo Erlichman and Mathieu Segers (and funded by a grant from the Luxembourg National Research Fund) will be a detailed analysis of German-Luxembourgish social interactions within the occupation zone through the lens of a history of everyday life, space and gender.
Before coming to Maastricht, I studied at the University of Heidelberg and at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. In that sense I am very much excited to continue my international journey in Maastricht now.
I am really looking forward to meeting all of you in the near future! Feel free to contact me at f.streicher@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
