Research
My research primarily concerns itself with the politics of memory in Germany and Europe, with a particular focus on issues relating to victimhood (see my monograph Constructions of Victimhood, 2019). I have published work on questions of memory in literature, film and museums, and also have an interest in cultural diplomacy and the role of heritage in soft power.
I was a researcher on the Horizon 2020 project Unsettling Memory and Social Cohesion in Transnational Europe (UNREST) and am currently a visiting researcher on an MSCA project on memory of disputed territory.
Teaching
I currently contribute to the teaching of the MA in Global Cultures.
Biography
Following previous roles at Nottingham Trent University and the University of Bath, I joined Cardiff University as Professor of Modern German Studies in October 2018.
Supervisions
