About
I studied German Language and Literature, Comparative Literature, Philosophy, and Political Science at the Freie Universitaet Berlin and at Reed College, Portland, Oregon. My Magister Artium thesis was entitled „The Meaning of ‚Jewishness’ in the Works of Wolfgang Hildesheimer and Alfred Andersch“.
I have interned in publishing houses, such as the Berlin Verlag and the Suhrkamp Verlag in 2005 and 2007. In 2008 I was „Corrie ten Boom“ awardee of the Shoah Foundation Institution (Univ. of Southern California, LA), in 2009 fellow of the Konstanzer Meisterklasse about "Trauma and Narration".
I currently hold a Ph.D scholarship of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German National Academic Foundation) and of the Friedrich Schlegel Graduate School.
My research interests include German-Jewish literature, Holocaust literature and postmodern literary theory with a particular focus on the authors Heinrich Kleist, Rahel Varnhagen, Walter Benjamin and Alexander Kluge.
