Martina Winkler has been teaching Eastern European History at Kiel University since 2017, whereby the constant questioning of this academic label has become an important part. Her position in Kiel was preceded by various positions in Leipzig, Berlin, Münster, Loughborough/UK, Stanford and Bremen. She completed her doctorate in Leipzig with a thesis on the Czech politician Karel Kramář, and her habilitation in Leipzig with a study on territorialization processes in the Russian Empire with a view to the early modern expansion into the North Pacific. She likes to switch back and forth between these main topics (contemporary history of Eastern Central Europe and Russia in the early modern period). The results include a volume on the photographic representation of the Prague Spring, a biography of Peter I and several publications on her favorite research topic of childhood history. She is currently preparing a new project on the role of childhood in concepts of the socialist city.
