On 3 June 2025, Dr Bodo Mrozek will give a lecture on the youth music movement, which has shaped both popular culture and state music schools since the 1920s. Under the title "Between popular education and national formation: Transnational nationalism in the youth music movement (1923-1967)", Mrozek will trace breaks, continuities and influences on the reshaping of music education and shed light on its transnational interdependencies to this day. Dr Bodo Mrozek, historian and author, has been a research associate at the Berlin Centre for Cold War Studies at the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) in Berlin since February 2021 and a member of the advisory board of the "C:POP Transdisciplinary Research Center for Popular Music Cultures and Creative Economies" at UPB since 2023. Mrozek is a recognised expert on youth, music and pop culture. His book "Jugend - Pop - Kultur. Eine transnationale Geschichte" was published in 2019 by Suhrkamp Taschenbuch Wissenschaft and in 2021 by the Federal Agency for Civic Education, was awarded the IASPM Prize and published in French translation in 2024. He is also co-editor of a two-volume pop history and editor of the volume "Sensory Warfare in the Global Cold War" (2024).
The lecture and talk will be presented by the C:POP Research Centre in cooperation with the Department of Contemporary History at the UPB's Institute of History.
