Professor Jenkins works on nineteenth and twentieth century German cultural and political history, with an emphasis on nationalism, public culture and civil society. Her first book, Provincial Modernity: Local Culture and Liberal Politics in Fin-de-Siecle Hamburg (Cornell University Press, 2003) investigated the making of a modernist public culture in Imperial Germany. Her current projects include a study of architecture, urban planning and national culture in twentieth-century Germany and a project on Germany and the Middle East, particularly Iran, from 1890 to the present day. She holds a Canada Research Chair for Modern German History.
