About me

I am a senior lecture at the Department of Slavic and Baltic Languages, Finnish, Dutch, and German. 

I studied literary translation and German as a foreign language at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf. Between 2007 and 2017, I was a junior lecturer in German at Stockholm University. In 2017, I obtained my doctorate at the German section and at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen with a dissertation on cultural learning in computer-mediated asynchronous communication. Since 2018, I have been a senior lecturer in German. I was appointed as Associate Professor in 2024.

From 2020 to 2023, I was Director of Postgraduate Studies, and from 2024 to 2025, Deputy Head of Department.

Research

My research interests include cultural learning, cultural historical learning, the use of digital media in foreign language teaching, and subject-specific didactics in higher education. 

Together with Nina Simon (Universität Leipzig), I founded the international network HolDaF/Z (Teaching and Learning about the Holocaust: Migration Pedagogical and Postcolonial Perspectives in the Context of German as a Second and Foreign Language).
