The main aim of this project is to examine how radio archival collections were created, treated and used within national/regional contexts in Central Europe, with a particular focus on former East Germany (GDR)/former Czechoslovakia. In general, we’re looking for a candidate with an expertise in European history, with (near-)fluent German as a must (and a minimum of basic-level Czech), who is able to conduct research in archives and to contextualise radio archival collections from the vantage of relevant frameworks, such as cultural history, media history, and critical archival studies.
