Professor Ingrid Sharp

Ingrid Sharp is Professor of German Cultural and Gender History at the University of Leeds in the UK. Her research focuses on gender-specific issues in the context of pacifism and war resistance as well as the history of female activism during the First World War.

 

Research interests
In my research I look at individuals and groups, especially 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. My approach is from a Gender, Women's and Cultural History perspective, with a particular interest in the ethical motivation of these parties and the ways in which they represent themselves and are represented in the culture of the time.

My research topics are reflected in and informed by my teaching, research supervision, invited conference papers and publications, and have been supported by internal and external research awards.

Gender and the First World War: A major area of my research and public engagement has focussed on WW1 and its aftermath, especially on women's organizations and female activists during the period 1914-24, and on various forms and expressions of war resistance.

Women and the Reunification of Germany: My research into media representations of sexuality during the Wende and Unification found a national media echo when it was featured as the topic of the Improbable Research column in The Guardian published in August 2010.
