About

Bio

Klaus Oschema was appointed Adjunct Professor at the Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg. Between 2009 and 2014, he was a member of the Young Academy Berlin-Brandenburg. Currently, Oschema is on research leave at the Princeton ‘Institute of Advanced Studies’ (USA). Oschema has published and taught extensively on matters of medieval society, particularly on the social structures of the aristocracy and imaginations of ‘Europe’. In his latest monograph, Oschema takes a critical stance on the historical analysis of the concept of ‘Europe’, arguing that the discursive use of ‘Europe’ by medieval societies needs to be reexamined.
