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 2012-2020

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.

Background

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.

  • German Literature and Culture from the 19th to the 21st century

18th to 20th century German Literature and Thought, Enlightenment, German Jewish Culture, Critical Theory.

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 2012-2020

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.

Background

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.

Background

Ph.D. University of Toronto 2017

I moved from Cologne to Toronto in 2007. I hold a PhD in Germanic Languages & Literatures, from the University of Toronto, and a B.A. and M.A. in Nordic and Germanic Studies from University of Cologne (with ERASMUS exchange year at Uppsala University, Sweden).

My primary research interests are SLA – pedagogy, didactics and methodology, culture and identity in SLA, multiculturalism and the third space, acculturation and social integration of adult GSL learners. My interdisciplinary dissertation is entitled "Culture, Identity and Attitudes of Immigrant Learners of German in the Context of the German Integration Course" and is generously funded by JIGES, SGS and the Germany/Europe Fund. Since entering the PhD program, I have presented numerous conference papers and given workshops on teaching methodology, pedagogy and incorporation of culture and new media into GSL.

Currently, I enjoy working as German Language Instructor (GER100, GER200, and GER300) and Course Coordinator (GER300). As of 2012, I am honored to be a holder of the TATP Teaching Excellence Award, as well as the Dissertation Completion Award and the Goethe-Institute Seminar Scholarship.

Background

I am an Alumna of the University of Toronto. I graduated in 1976 with my Honours BA from Victoria College, with a German major and French minor. Thereafter, I completed my Masters Degree at the University of Toronto in 1977 in German and accepted a position as a Teaching Assistant with the Department.

I have been working in the human resources and human resource development field for over 25 years. I have extensive background in automotive, general merchandise and food retail and wholesale sectors. During my business career, I obtained my Certified Human Resources Professional (C.H.R.P.) designation at the Human Resources Leader level. I also held advanced certification from the Canadian Society for Training and Development. I have a certificate in Labour Relations from Queen’s University. My specific area of expertise is in designing programs and processes aimed at developing high performance and resilient corporations, business teams and individual employees.

I joined Honda Canada Inc.’s head office sales and marketing group in Markham in 1999. I retired as Assistant Vice President, Human Resources and Administration in 2013. Prior to that, I spent 20 years with the Oshawa Group Limited (now part of the Sobeys organisation) working in all areas of human resources management. My last assignment was Senior Director, Human Resources, responsible directly for all national departments. I have also been the Canadian representative on the Cornell University International Distance Education Advisory Board and past Chair of the Canadian wing of this Board. I have also been a frequent speaker at numerous Human Resources, Training Symposia and professional organisations.

Throughout my professional career and into retirement, I have continued to pursue my passion for helping others to grow and develop by teaching management and leadership courses at local community colleges. I have been a part-time instructor at Humber College for over 20 years.

Background

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.
