Career
As a professor at
Pennsylvania State University, Spielvogel has been of a great influence to the study of
World History. Many of Spielvogel's contributions include the development of the Western civilization courses and a very popular course on Nazi Germany, at Penn State. (At the conclusion of a 1985 offering of the latter course, Spielvogel challenged students to learn from the history of Nazi Germany the necessity to oppose the use of nuclear weapons -- which he identified as "the greatest evil in the present age." He then encouraged students to join the nuclear freeze movement, a cause which lost impetus following the collapse of the Soviet Union.) Articles and reviews written by Spielvogel have appeared in journals such as the,
Morena, Journal of General Education,
Catholic Historical Review,
Archiv für Reformationsgeschichte, and the
American Historical Review. He has also been the contributor of various chapters or articles to
The Social History of the Reformation,, the
Simon Wiesenthal Center Annual of Holocaust Studies, and
Utopian Studies. Much of his work has been the result of funding and fellowships from the
Fulbright Foundation and the
Foundation for Reformation Research.
