Jake Smith completed his PhD at the University of Chicago in 2017 with a dissertation on urban countercultural movements in Northern and Central Europe entitled “Strangers in a Dead Land: Redemption and Regeneration in the European Counterculture.” The doctoral work traces the transformation of countercultural thought and practice in the period following the \u201cGerman Autumn\u201d of 1977 and argues that urban countercultures in cities such as Berlin, Freiburg, and Zurich played a critical role in the development and propagation of a post-industrial, postmodern aesthetic that has since become ubiquitous in cities throughout Europe.<\/p>\n
