Research
My research interests lie at the intersection of literary, cultural, and political studies. Drawing on my interdisciplinary education in these fields, my doctoral research explores representations of citizenship in the German language novel from the Imperial Era to the present day. An inherently contested concept, citizenship can be understood as a central determinant of many of today’s most pressing challenges, including matters of poverty and inequality, individual freedom, civic engagement, cultural identity and migration. In approaching these issues through the lens of creative fiction, I aim to promote a deeper understanding of how contestations over citizenship are staged not only administratively and physically, but also symbolically.
