Research Areas:
Cultural studies, Philosophy, Twentieth century
Teaching focus: German Cultural History (GERM 330), Literary Theory (GERM 343) and Writing about Literature (GERM 340). My teaching emphasizes the development of individuality, multiperspectivity, and awareness of the Self and Other by practicing and encouraging critical thinking skills, development of consciousness, and self-directed learning. I believe the goal of higher education lies not in providing answers, but in helping students to find joy and purpose in ambiguity and uncertainty. Research interest: the intersections between science, art, and spirituality in German literature, culture, and philosophy. Particular focus of publications: Rudolf Steiner (Critical Edition), philosophical foundations of Anthroposophy, Initiation Drama, anthroposophically oriented Hermeneutics. BOOKS: BOOK CHAPTERS: ARTICLES: Focus of my scholarly service activities is the furthering of scholarly work on Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy. I regularly attend and organize panels on this topic at international conferences, and I am the editor of the international peer reviewed journal “Steiner Studies”.
