Prof. Hoenicke-Moore will address nationalism and US foreign policy, examining the profound transformation of American patriotism after 1941 to reveal the multifaceted domestic debates over the international role of the U.S. She investigates patriotism as an expression of national belonging and identity necessary for the formulation, legitimization and contestation of U.S. foreign policy and the changing nature over time of its role in the world.
