Lloyd Kramer, Co-Director
 

Lloyd Kramer is a professor in the history department at UNC-CH, where he has taught courses in European and World History since 1986.  His historical research focuses mainly on the period between 1770 and 1850, with special attention to the cross-cultural exchange of ideas, political ideologies, and social institutions.  Much of his writing has analyzed the legacies of the French and American Revolutions.  His books include Threshold of a New World:  Intellectuals and Exile Experience in Paris, 1830-1848 (1988), Lafayette in Two Worlds:  Public Cultures and Personal Identities in an Age of Revolutions (1996), and Nationalism:  Political Cultures in Europe and America, 1775-1865 (1998).  He has also written extensively on theories and methods of historical scholarship.  You can get more information about Lloyd's work on Lafayette from the C-SPAN website -- click here.

Professor Kramer has been active in the Project for Historical Education from its beginning.  He helped to organize the public conference on historical pedagogy that launched the Project in 1991.  The papers presented at that conference evolved into a book entitled Learning History in America:  Schools, Cultures, and Politics (1994), which Professor Kramer coedited with two other members of the UNC history department.  In addition to serving as co-director of PHE, he has also led one of the seminars (a program on Nationalism) and worked closely with the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to secure the funding support that has sustained PHE over the years.  His own commitment to teaching is reflected in his years of service on the UNC history department's Committee on Teaching and in two awards he has received for distinguished undergraduate teaching.  He regularly teaches large classes on the History of Western Civilization, on Modern European Intellectual History, and on Global History in the Twentieth Century.
