I write about the intersection of politics and culture, immigration and citizenship in Europe and the United States. I blog (as often as I can) here.
This year I was an Arthur F. Burns fellow in Berlin, Germany and the recipient of an American Council on Germany fellowship. this made possible my Slate series about the Holocaust Archives in Bad Arolsen, Germany and the war time letters I found from my Grandfather- it's in five parts.
Watch here a post-Bush round up for Guardian TV I filmed earlier this month.
NEWS: listen here to a my post-election round table analysis with the Guardian's Mike Tomasky, Reihan Salam, and NPR's Neil Conan
NEWS: I won a Lowell Thomas bronze award for Best Travel Journalist of the Year 2008
Much of my work this year has been funded through the help of a generous Milena Jesenska Journalism Fellowship from Boston University and the Institute or Human Sciences in Vienna, Austria.
