Receiving Fulbright and German Historical Institute doctoral fellowships,
Eric spent 1995 and 1996 conducting his dissertation research on
the public lives of German women under U.S. occupation after the
Second World War at archives in both the U.S. and Germany. Escaping
the harsh Syracuse winters, Eric accepted a faculty position as
a Mellon Lecturing Fellow at Duke University from 2000 to 2004.
His writing intensive first-year seminar courses like “Women
and War in the Twentieth Century” and “The Politics
of Sexuality” examined the historical twists and turns of
oppression, power, privilege and responsibility. While at Duke,
he also focused on social justice issues outside of the classroom
working as a faculty affiliate of the Center for LGBT Life, chairing
a presidential task force on LGBT matters, and serving on a presidential
commission to address women’s concerns.
