My primary fields of study are comparative literature, philosophy, media studies, and environmental humanities. I work on material from the 16th to the 21st century.
 
I completed my PhD in 2017 with distinction in the German Department at Yale University, and spent the year 2013/2014 as a fellow in the "Technologies of Knowledge" program for the integrated humanities funded by the Mellon Foundation. 2017-18 I was a Lector of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Yale University, and since 2018/19 I am a Postdoc and Lecturer in German and Comparative Literature at Princeton University.
In June and July 2021 I will be a Junior Fellow at the Peter Szondi-Institut and the Dahlem Humanities Center at Freie Universität Berlin.
 
I am currently completing my first book Against Rhetoric: Civic Storytelling and the Rise of Short Forms (under contract with Zone Books).
