About
I am working on my PhD in the Department of German and Dutch at the University of Cambridge, UK. The project is concerned with the portrayal of Communism in recent German literature and film. It focuses in particular on representations of the East German Ministry for State Security ('Stasi') and their unofficial spy network.
In October 2012 I will take up a position as Research Fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
Alongside my research in Cambridge I also lecture and supervise on literature, film and performance studies, and on theories of gender, the body, hysteria and technology. The students I teach are working on material in English, French and German, from periods since 1800, and across a wide range of media. I run a seminar in literary and cultural theory for first-year students of Modern and Medieval Languages at Newnham College, Cambridge.
As part of my project I have been privileged to be a visiting scholar at the Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School for Literary Studies at the Freie Universität, Berlin (Autumn 2009) and in the Department of German of the University of California, Berkeley (Spring and Summer 2010). I am a member of the international research network Negotiating (In)visibilities which met for the first time in February 2012 in Copenhagen.
