Professor Murdock’s research focuses on German and Czech-speaking Central Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her first book, Changing Places: Society, Culture, and Territory in the Saxon-Bohemian Borderlands, 1870-1946 examines the changing dynamics of the Saxon-Bohemian borderlands between 1870 and 1946. She is currently working on a new project entitled Radiant Health: Radiation Exposure and the Politics of Public Health in Twentieth-Century Central Europe, which examines popular, scientific, and political debates about radiation and public health in Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia.
