Till Knobloch

Dr. Till Knobloch is a Deutsche Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) Postdoctoral Fellow at the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). His habilitation project explores the extent to which leading actors in Germany, the United States, and Russia genuinely believed in an “end of history” after the fall of the Berlin Wall. His broader research interests concern German and international history as well as the role of emotions in diplomacy. 

Till Knobloch is also an Affiliated Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at the German Historical Institute (GHI) in Washington, DC. He has been a guest lecturer at the University of Potsdam, where Prof. Dominik Geppert is supervising his habilitation project. 

A graduate of Heidelberg University, Till Knobloch completed his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a dissertation on the diplomacy preceding the outbreak of the Second World War, supervised by Prof. Konrad Jarausch and Prof. Sönke Neitzel. He was previously a fellow at Freie Universität Berlin, a guest researcher at the Center for the History of Emotions at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and a visiting student at the University of Cambridge.
