I am a cultural studies researcher interested in embodied cognition and German culture of the twentieth century. I very recently completed my doctoral thesis at New College, Oxford in the German Studies department. My doctoral project examines German modernist literature (Rilke, Döblin, Baum) and thought (Benjamin, Heidegger) in light of contemporary theories of embodiment. Currently, I am examining what dance can teach us about human coordination and cooperation and lecturing at Amsterdam University College. I am a former professional ballet dancer.
