My teaching and research focuses on memory studies, specifically how memory of collective trauma is passed down through generations, looking at the link between in the individual and the collective. Literature and cultural objects can represent both an individual’s process of dealing with collective trauma and also serve as tools for collective memory. I hold master’s degrees both in Interdisplinary Research on Antisemitism (Technische Universität Berlin, 2021) and Comparative Literature (Freie Universität Berlin, 2023) after gaining an interdisciplinary bachelor’s degree in Language and Communication. Thus, my work is shaped by interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches and the collective memory as well as the literary depiction of the Shoah has been at the core of my academic interest.
After joining Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in April 2023 as a researcher, lecturer and PhD-candidate, I founded the university’s Queer Staff Network in the fall of the same year. If you have any questions about the network, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
