SUPERVISION

I have successfully advised and mentored graduate students, serving as a thesis advisor, external reader, internship supervisor and project mentor across the fields of English & American Studies, Gender & Sexuality Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Literary Studies, Media & Cultural Studies, Global Studies and International Relations (more details below).

Currently, I assist with supervising PhD candidates in the transdisciplinary and transnational framework of the minor cosmopolitanisms research training group (a cooperation established among the University of Potsdam, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and the Freie Universität Berlin), providing support, advice, and mediation between the doctoral fellows and their dissertation supervisors.

I am available to advise and mentor graduate students at all levels across the humanities. I am especially interested in supervising students whose projects use mixed methods and transgress disciplinary boundaries. To work with me, please email me with a short overview of your project and an updated CV.
