Current project(s)

My dissertation examines transnational community of mountaineers in the twentieth century. Focusing on East-West contacts, my aim is to understand the historical origins of a globalizing community from the perspective of private actors. I explore how mountaineers, organized in alpine clubs around the world, shared material objects, abstract knowledge, and people in a way that created “exchange cultures” transcending national, linguistic, and ideological borders.
