Short biography
I am a photography historian and theorist, literary and cultural scholar, and have taught at the Institute for Media Studies since October 2022. Prior to coming to Marburg, I was a Thyssen@KWI Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies/Kulturwissenschaftliche Institut (KWI) in Essen as well as an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the Universities of Constance and Cologne (2019-2022).
I studied in Mainz, Berlin, Paris and Edinburgh and received my PhD at the University of Edinburgh in 2008. At Edinburgh I was also a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) and taught in French Studies and Art History for a number of years. Between 2011 and 2019 I was a tenured Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham, but left the position to return to Europe.
At Marburg I teach courses in Media Studies in both English and German.
