Markus Bierkoch's doctoral research focuses on German-American associations in New York  (1890s to 1930s) and their roles as both providers of social and economic benefits and  proponents of ethnic politics. He will speak about economic networks formed by these organizations, specifically in the retail and wholesale sectors of the food and alcohol industries.
