Ingrid is Professor of German Cultural and Gender History at the University of Leeds. She has dedicated many years of research exploring the roles of women, who have challenged dominant ideas and entrenched authority and sought change; at how moments of crisis and conflict can act as catalysts for these challenges, and how the aftermath of conflict offers a brief window during which societal and gender norms can be re-negotiated.
