Christopher Clark's research interests are centered on nineteenth-century Germany and continental Europe. His early work focused on political and cultural history, particularly religion. His book studies the relationship between Christians and the Jewish minority in Prussia from 1728 to 1941, exploring how contemporary understandings of Christianity shaped the evolving notion of the 'Jewish Question'. He has published various articles and essays on related subjects, examining how state authority engages with religious questions and how allegiances tied to religion have impacted political and cultural changes. In 2004, he co-edited a volume on the 'culture war' between Catholic and secular social forces that polarized European states between 1850 and 1890 with Wolfram Kaiser at the University of Portsmouth. His published studies include a biography of Kaiser Wilhelm II and a comprehensive history of Prussia, with works ongoing on political change in Europe following the revolutions of 1848. Professor Clark supervises doctoral and M.Phil projects across a wide range of topics in nineteenth and twentieth-century German comparative history and teaches undergraduate courses on German History, contributing to Modern European Studies.
