Career

I joined the Department of Comparative Literature at Binghamton University in 1989, having previously taught at the University of Cologne (Germany), University of Essen (Germany), and University of Florida. For one semester I served as second Käthe-Leichter-Visiting Professor of Women and Gender Studies (endowed chair) at the University of Vienna (1999/2000).

Research

My work has been on modern literature and thought, gender, knowledge and history, women’s literature and political culture. Furthermore, I have been interested in narratives of exile and migration, the Jewish-German tradition, literature and memory, autobiographics, and romanticism. Currently I am working on a book on Lou Andreas-Salome's modern thought.
