Peter van Lidth de Jeude

Associate Professor of History

This program will be directed by Dr. Peter van Lidth de Jeude. In addition to serving as Associate Professor of History at Principia College and having extensive experience teaching both German history broadly and the history of fascism and Nazism specifically, Dr. van Lidth de Jeude grew up in Germany and received his pre-collegiate education in German schools, leaving him incredibly familiar with both German culture and language. He also did his research for his dissertation in Berlin, living there for just under a year and thus having extensive familiarity with both the city and its people – not to mention its bakeries. Dr. van Lidth de Jeude has a BA from Principia College, an MA from the University of North Carolina Greensboro, and a PhD from Pennsylvania State University, all in History.
