Mischa Honeck

Mischa Honeck is Professor of British and North American History at the University of Kassel. Spanning two centuries, his contributions to a burgeoning “America and the World” scholarship engage with the histories of race, ethnicity, gender, childhood, youth, and empire. He is the author of two monographs: We Are the Revolutionists: German-Speaking Immigrants and American Abolitionists (Athens, Ga: University of Georgia Press, 2011), and Our Frontier Is the World: The Boy Scouts in the Age of American Ascendancy (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2018). His current book project, tentatively titled No Country for Old Age: Rejuvenation in American History, traces various discourses and practices of anti-aging from the founding period to Silicon Valley’s transhumanist elites.
