Ph.D. Indiana University 2007

In my research, I focus on the intersection between literature and the life sciences. My book Romanticism, Origins, and the History of Heredity (Bucknell University Press, 2014) examines biological, legal, and literary discourses on heredity from 1770-1830 and their impact on the concept of modern subjectivity. In a second project, "Original Sin: the Quest for the Origin of Evil," I study the idea of original sin and its reinterpretation in the context of new assumptions in anthropology around 1800. The project is funded by an Insight Development Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. I also maintain an ongoing interest in Gender Studies and in German-Orient cross-cultural relations.

In spring 2011, I organized the 4th Annual Toronto German Studies Symposium "Fact and Fiction: Literature and Science in the German and European Context." The symposium assembled an international and interdisciplinary group of specialists working on the intersection between literature and the sciences and was generously sponsored and supported by Germanic Languages and Literatures, The Faculty of Arts and Science, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Munk School of Global Affairs, Joint Initiative in German and European Studies (JIGES), Centre for European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies (CERES).

For the symposium program see:

Together with my colleague Marga Vicedo from the Institute for History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, I organized in 2010-11 “Science and Culture” (SciCult), a working group at the University of Toronto initiated by Cannon Schmitt (English) and funded by the Jackman Humanities Insitute.

For more information on SciCult see:

Recently, I have started to consider eco-critical approaches for my research and I am a member of the "Working Group on Environment," which is led by Alice Kuzniar (German, University of Waterloo) and takes place under the umbrella of the Waterloo Centre for German Studies (WCGS).

Ph.D. Harvard University 2012

I received my MA in Germanic Languages and Literatures from the University of Toronto and completed my doctoral work at Harvard in 2012. My dissertation examines Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s literary representation of the crisis of authorship at the turn of the 20th century. Focusing on Hofmannsthal’s fictional letters and poetological reflections, it explores the slippery relationship between the author and the medium of his art, the origin of the symbol, and the status of literature in an age of ever-growing media competition.

My current research interests include foreign language pedagogy, turn-of-the-century Vienna, philosophy of language, philosophy of aesthetics, and contemporary translingual literature by transcultural German-language authors.

Before joining the German Department at the University of Toronto, I taught at Harvard and the Goethe-Institut Toronto.

Current Research Interests

I am currently working on a project that examines the emergence of how modern philosophy theorizes difference, otherness, and alterity. The project called "Difference and Alterity in Modern Jewish Philosophy" is supported by a grant of the Social Sciences and Human Research Council. Insight Grant 2012-2017

My previous research project "The Question of Modernity" was supported by another grant of the Social Sciences and Human Research Council 2004-2009 and resulted in various essays and the book The Discipline of Philosophy and the Invention of Modern Jewish Thought.

Dr. phil. Freie Universität Berlin, 2007

I studied history, philosophy and German literature at the Freie Universität Berlin, and obtained a PhD in history in 2007 with a thesis on ‘New Adel’ and the use of aristocratic concepts by intellectuals in the early 20th century. In my research, I focus on interdisciplinary approaches to German intellectual history in the 19th and 20th century, such as the history of concepts and the investigation of lieux de mémoire. My work also includes the study of intellectual networks and the history of racism and antisemitism. My teaching interests extend to contemporary German culture and literature as well as teaching German as foreign language.

I taught German Language and Literature at Wroclaw University (Poland, 2001-2002), and from 2007-2010 in Yerevan (Armenia) at the State Linguistic University and at the French University. In 2007, I joined the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), first as director of the Armenian office in Yerevan and from 2010 at the DAAD head office in Bonn. In addition to my teaching duties at the U of T, I will also serve as Director of the DAAD Information Centre for Canada which promotes study and research in Germany and provides information about funding opportunities for such activities.
