Dr. Steffen Wöll

Steffen Wöll is a postdoctoral researcher in American Studies at Leipzig University. His research explores how literary and cultural texts imagine, map, and transform space, with a particular focus on cartography, mobility, border formations, and imperial imaginaries. His publications span American literature, digital humanities, visual culture, film, and horror studies. His current project examines how transoceanic and archipelagic imaginaries shaped U.S. imperial expansion and literary culture at the turn of the twentieth century.
