Britta Schilling teaches all levels of History students at Utrecht, from the first year Bachelor’s to the Research Master’s. From 2019-2023, she coordinated the Research Master’s (RMA) programme in History. From 2016-2020, she served as course coordinator and lecturer for the first-year course in World History. Her MA course, Colonial Memory and Postcolonial Heritage, is based on her own research in the comparative history and legacy of colonialism and European overseas empire.
Schilling has supervised MA student theses on a range of topics in the history and memory of empire, as well as German history. Several of her former thesis students have gone on to extend their MA research in PhD programmes at prestigious institutions including the University of Toronto and the Humboldt-Universität Berlin.
