Dr Silke Arnold-de Simine

MA (Karlsruhe), Dr Phil (Mannheim)

My teaching and research interests lie in 19th- and 20th-century German literature and film, theories of cultural memory, the museum, the historicity of media and gender studies.

I am Programme Director of the MA Comparative Literature, and I also teach option modules for the MA Modern Languages, MA Museum Cultures and MA Romantic Studies.

Before coming to Birkbeck in 2006, I taught at the University of Mannheim (Germany) and at the University of Cambridge (2001-2003). In 2005 I had a HRC Visiting Fellowship at the ANU (Canberra, Australia).
