  Principal investigator of the BMBF research group „Aesthetics of Access. Visualizing Research Data on Women in Film History“ (DAVIF) (2021-2025)
  The goal of the independent research group DAVIF funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is to explore the aesthetics of access in light of the growing production and application of data. It investigates current forms of data-driven re/presentations and explores creative use of historical research data. In doing so, the project approaches the subject both from a theoretical and practical perspective. In addition to case studies, it creates and analyzes data visualizations (e.g. graphics, data essays, i-docs) that facilitate access to aggregated research data on women’s global involvement in early cinema. For this purpose the project has the privilege to collaborate with the Women Film Pioneers Project (WFPP) at Columbia University, the DFF – Deutsches Filmmuseum & Filminstitut, and the working group Graphics and Multimedia at Philipps University Marburg. The Film and Media Studies project aims to contribute to a fruitful debate on digital tools and methods in the international context of digital humanities. It seeks to foster the critical discourse on scholarly knowledge production, research data, and open science.

  Project leader of the DFG Research Network New Directions in Film Historiography — Digital Tools and Methods in Film and Media Studies (2019-2023)
  The goal of the international research network, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is to collaboratively explore how digital technologies shape our understanding of film and cinema history from a Film and Media Studies perspective. The network brings together 15 scholars from six countries who analyze the epistemic, conceptual, and methodological frameworks of digital film historiography.

  Open Media Studies Blog (since 2018, before oa books)
  The goal of the Open Media Studies Blog is to bring the multitude of positions on the subject matter of open science, digital scholarship, and media studies into conversation. Initiated in 2016 as oabooks.de and since 2018 co-edited with Alena Strohmaier, Josephine Diecke and Kai Matuszkiewicz (since 2021). As a public forum, the blog seeks to foster reflection on research and teaching practices in the humanities and to make knowledge processes more transparent. Contributions are always welcome.

  Founder of the open access publishing initiative oa books (since 2014)
  The aim of this publishing project is to analyze the cultural, political, media, economic, legal, and discipline-specific conditions of the scholarly publication system in view of increasing digitalization, both theoretically and in a practical manner. Furthermore, it seeks to enable easy access to research in Film and Media studies as well easy dissemination and reuse.
