Research and publications

The chair for German Language and Literature researches a broad variety of topics and epochs.

One specific focus of our work is the 18th and 19th century, another is the history of the phonetic alphabet and its impact on Europeanness, which is currently in the process of being shaped into a monograph. In collaboration with Prof. Dr. Jörg Metelmann from the Cultural and Media Studies I currently also do much of my research on interdisciplinary knowledge transfer in the area of management education, for which we have developed the concept of Critical Literacy as an integrative core competence of the humanities on the basis of our recently published report on the integration of the humanities and social sciences at international business schools.
