Comment: As a visiting associate professor his notability is unproven. He needs awards and other coverage. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:01, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Alexander Schmidt (born October 17, 1975 in Jena, Germany) is a German intellectual historian. His teaching and publications focus on European intellectual and legal history from Reformation to the twentieth century. After studying modern history, psychology, philosophy and political science at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and the Humboldt University in Berlin, he completed his doctorate in 2005 with a thesis on patriotism in the Holy Roman Empire. His monograph about Patriotism and Religious Strife analyses how a neo-classical civic vocabulary of love of the fatherland was taken up by mainly Protestant humanists and applied to the seemingly alien reality of the Holy Roman Empire with its complex constitutional and religious arrangements.[1]
Schmidt was a Junior Professor at the Research Center Laboratory of Enlightenment and the Institute for Early Modern History, Friedrich Schiller University of Jena (Germany) from 2009 to 2017. Between 2011 and 2020, he was a Visiting Fellow at the University of Edinburgh (UK), the University of Cambridge (UK), the University of Chicago (USA) and a Visiting Professor at Sichuan University Chengdu (China) and the University of Chicago (USA). Since 2021 he has been a visiting associate professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN.[2]
