Matthew Unangst
I’m an assistant professor in the history department. My research and teaching focus on transnational exchange in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. My first book, Colonial Geography: Race and Space in German East Africa (University of Toronto Press, 2022), examines the German colonization of mainland Tanzania as a project of making space. My new project analyzes the ways that Tanzania, West Germany, and East Germany managed the historiography of German East Africa for geopolitical goals from the 1960s through the 1980s.
I was co-president of my union (TUGSA) when I was a grad student at Temple University. What I’d most like to develop here at UUP is a culture of unionism where members will continue to organize and work together for our collective rights to build a better university.
Please contact me with any concerns or any ideas for what UUP can do to be a stronger union.
