Personal profile
Research interests
I work as an interdisciplinary cultural studies researcher, and I am in particular interested in the transformation of the public sphere due to digitalisation, globalisation and fictionalization, and in the role literary authors as public intellectuals have in this context.
I consider literature a form of social knowledge, which means that the ideas and experiences described and explored in literary texts can be applied to societal issues and policies. Literature and the performances of authors become extended to other media, in which political and social positions are acted out.
Currently, I work on two book projects: Experiences of Migration in Literature, and Female Public Intellectuals.
