Overall Research Project Description This research project investigates how America’s physical culture and perceptions of masculinity impacted German Prisoners of War housed in the U.S. during World War II. It examines the sports programs available at Prisoner of War camps within the United States during the Second World War and examines how cultural values of physical culture and masculinity shaped the treatment of German POWs.

Research Tasks Researchers will be responsible for reviewing secondary literature on masculinity and the treatment of German POWs in America during World War II, collecting material on American physical culture leading up to World War II, and gathering information on sports programs implemented at German POW camps by organizations such as the YMCA.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: German language proficiency is preferred. This will allow research assistants to examine German POWs’ memoirs.

Mentoring Philosophy Trust is the cornerstone of my philosophy on mentorship, which requires a professional relationship built on open dialogue and goal setting. From the inception of a mentoring partnership, it will be critical to identify the research assistants’ goals and previous relevant experience. By assessing previous experience, the mentee will discuss their areas of strength with the mentor. Through this dialogue, the mentor and mentee can set a realistic baseline and goals for development through the research process using a strength-based approach. Through this approach, researchers will gain the confidence to make bolder inquiries while having the mentor serve as a safeguard. While participating in this program, researchers will receive formal and informal feedback regarding their analysis. The informal and formal processes ensure open dialogue between the mentor and mentee and cultivate a trusting professional relationship between both parties.
