the Holocaust as an integral part of late modern processes of imperial collapse, the
formation and occasional de-formation of nation-states, and their devastating impact
on the societies they sought --- and still seek --- to break and remake. Dr. Segal
has held a Harry Frank Guggenheim Fellowship, a Fulbright Fellowship, and a Lady Davis
Fellowship at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His publications include Genocide in the Carpathians: War, Social Breakdown, and Mass Violence, 1914-1945 (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2016; paperback 2020), and he was guest editor
