Stefan Bauer

Stefan Bauer is a Marie Curie Experienced Research Fellow in Early Modern History at the University of York.[1] Bauer has published widely on the religious and intellectual history of Europe. His first monograph on Jacob Burckhardt came out in 2001.[2] It received numerous reviews, for instance by the classical scholar Hugh Lloyd-Jones in English Historical Review.[3] The political scientist Wilhelm Hennis referred to it as "fabulously learned"[4] and the historian Peter Funke as "an outstanding achievement in the history of science".[5] Bauer's study on the censorship of the Lives of Popes by Platina was published in 2006.[6] The Sixteenth Century Journal noted that "Stefan Bauer has produced a scholarly tool essential for investigating the intersection of late-Renaissance ideas and practices with those of the Catholic Reformation".[7] Renaissance Quarterly judged his work to be "an excellent book on an important humanist, his rewriting of papal history, and the reception and censorship of this highly influential and often scandalous work".[8] Bauer is a Fellow both of the Royal Historical Society (FRHistS)[9] and the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).[10] His most recent research project, for which Bauer has received funding from the European Commission, is entitled "History and Theology: the Creation of Disinterested Scholarship from Dogmatic Stalemate".[11] An exhibition connected to this project, "The Art of Disagreeing Badly: Religious Dispute in Early Modern Europe", was opened at an interfaith event at the York Minster Library on 15 November 2016.[12] Bauer is also the UK Chair of the Marie Curie Alumni Association.[13]
