Leonard Schmieding
Overseas Studies - Berlin, Bing Overseas Studies
BioI studied English, American Studies, History, and History Education at universities in Germany (Freiburg im Breisgau, Leipzig) and the U.S. (Indiana). In 2011, I received my PhD from the University of Leipzig with a dissertation on hip-hop culture in communist East Germany. Since then, I have been a researcher, educator, and public historian in the San Francisco Bay Area, Washington, DC, Münster, and Berlin. While I continue to be interested in youth cultures, migration, and public memory, I am now focusing on building networks between museums, memorials, archives, schools, and universities to use the power of history for active citizenship in our societies in Germany and the U.S. I bring together scholars, curators, and educators in partnerships and professional development, and I work with students, both in secondary schools and at university, to use museum resources for deep historical learning.

Parna arrived at Stanford in 2008 from Carleton College, where she was an associate professor in South Asian history. Parna’s book, Pedagogy for Religion: Missionary Education and the Fashioning of Hindus and Muslims in Bengal (UC Press, 2011), reveals the centrality of missionary models of schooling on the development of modern education, an influence that resulted in the reinforcement of religion and religious identity in colonial India. Her most recent project is on the early twentieth century feminist thinker Rokeya Hossain.
