From 2000–2007, he was part of a DFG-funded Sonderforschungsbereich (collaborative research center) called "Ereignis Weimar-Jena: Kultur um 1800" at the University of Jena. He became a professor at Penn State in 2007. The book has also been reviewed by Dean Moyar, Paul Gilad, Riccardo Pozzo, Giovanna Miolli, and Christophe Bouton among others.
