Adam R. Seipp joined the faculty in 2005 after completing his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  His teaching and research focus on the history of war and European society.  Dr. Seipp is the author of the forthcoming “The Ordeal of Peace: Demobilization and the Urban Experience in Europe, 1917-21,” which examines the responses of urban dwellers and municipal authorities to the challenges of the postwar transition after World War I in Britain and Germany. 

Dr. Seipp is presently at work on a new project on the refugee crisis in American-occupied Bavaria after World War II.  This resulting study will situate the complex and multi-faceted problems of refugee management in their local, regional, and international contexts, arguing that the refugee crisis played a central role in the creation of West Germany as a Cold War frontier state.

His research has been supported by grants from, among others, the German Historical Institute, U.S. Fulbright Student Program, the German Marshall Fund, and the TAMU College of Liberal Arts. He has written several book chapters and authored articles in War and Society and the Journal of Contemporary History. 

Dr. Seipp is interested in supporting graduate and undergraduate research in modern German and European history, war and European society, and the history of sports and mass culture.
