👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSusan Grunewald is an award-winning historian and Assistant Professor of European History with eight years of professional experience specializing in Soviet and German history, digital humanities, and GIS mapping. She combines rigorous archival research across Russia, Germany, and the U.S. with advanced data-cleaning and visualization skills (ArcGIS, QGIS, kepler.gl, Tableau, OpenRefine) to reveal spatial dimensions of 20th-century political history. A two-time A.W. Mellon Fellow and former Digital History Postdoc, she publishes in scholarly journals and writes engaging popular pieces for national automotive magazines while regularly speaking in English and Russian. Beyond academia she directs social media and fundraising for a regional Mercedes‑Benz club and can pick out a 1980s Mercedes diesel by sound, an unusual ear for cultural as well as technical history. Her work bridges traditional archival methods and computational approaches, making complex multilingual sources accessible through maps and digital projects.
