Instructor in German Studies
German Studies

Overview


Hallo / Guten Tag / Pfir' di! I received my PhD from the Carolina-Duke German Program in May 2022 and am now an Instructor in the Duke German Department. As a grad student, my research focused on unusual muse figures in Romantic and post-Romantic poetry, especially those that represent an alternative to the gendered male poet/female muse paradigm. In Fall 2023, I will be teaching a new course on Creative Writing in German, and I regularly teach the courses in the German language sequence (101-204).

When not reading poetry, I am probably petting cats, drinking coffee at the amazing local cafes, or listening to opera and operetta. I also enjoy playing Stardew Valley, reading fantasy/contemporary fiction, and riding my bike. I really enjoy hearing about my students' interests as well as discussing German language and culture, so don't hesitate to drop by my office hours to practice speaking German or to ask questions about class!
