In his research, Dr. Lipp has explored issues of European social and political development in the centuries leading up to the French Revolution.  His first book, Noble Strategies in an Early Modern Small State: The Mahuet of Lorraine, was published in 2011.  His current project explores the darkening mood in Paris during May and June, 1940, as German armies drew ever nearer to the French capital.  On the basis of his research and teaching interests, Dr. Lipp has given invited talks on a variety of topics, including Louis XIV, the Sun King, and Napoleon.
