	Bryden, Eric Advisor: William Hagen Field: Modern Europe Topic: "In Search of Founding Fathers: Republican Historical Narratives in Weimar Germany, 1918-1933."	My project explores how supporters of the Weimar Republic utilized images and narratives of the German past in attempting to argue for the historical legitimacy of Germany's first liberal democratic political order. It is an examination of the various elements contained with these Geschichtsbilder and also seeks to analyze differing republican responses to the monarchical legacy that had undergirded the Hohenzollern Old Regime.

	Chester, Robert Advisor: Louis Warren Field: United States Topic: "The River Told Me": An Environmental History of the Comstock Lode."	Interests Environmental, Native American, and US West My study examines the many and far-reaching environmental impacts of the Comstock Lode(the largest silver strike in US history) from its beginning in 1859 and the changes it set in motion that transformed an entire region (Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake, the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, and the Carson and Truckee Rivers. From mining to logging, fishing, Indian removal, farming, dam construction, and mercury contamination, the industrial legacies of the Comstock present Gilded Age economic policies and their consequences in sharp relief. The hard-rock deep-shaft mining that occurred on the Comstock, the capital needed to fund such an enterprise, and the devastation of forests and streams that accompanied this spectacular event foreshadowed the economic development and ecological transformation of other mining regions throughout the American West for the remainder of the nineteenth century. In addition, the dispossession and marginalization of native groups such as the Paiute and Washoe vividly demonstrates, as did the California Gold Rush, the relationship between mining booms, deteriorating relations between natives and newcomers, and, ultimately, the violence encouraged by western expansion and exacerbated by capitalist greed.
