I’m a first-generation scholar who’s passionate about American Studies. I’m currently working at Leipzig University’s Collaborative Research Center 1199, exploring how spatial imaginations, human geographies, and critical cartography intersect with literature, film, and games. I’m the author of The West and the Word (de Gruyter, 2020), and my habilitation project delves into the transoceanic dynamics of imperial and literary discourses in the United States.
