I am a literary and cultural historian based at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW). I lead the project “The Author as Activist: Literature, Politics, and Celebrity“ and am Principal Investigator on the project “Auden Musulin Papers: A Digital Edition of W. H. Auden’s Letters to Stella Musulin“ at the Austrian Center for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (ACDH-CH).
Ruth Scobie’s and my edited volume Authorship, Activism, and Celebrity: Art and Action in Global Literature is out now with Bloomsbury Academic. On 31 January 2024, we discussed the book at a TORCH Book-at-Lunchtime event, a recording of which is available.

Out now: our open-access cluster on life narrative through refugee tales for the European Journal of Life Writing.
Out now: Our open-access article “Revealing ‚Invisible‘ Poetry by W. H. Auden through Computer Vision“ in Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (OUP).
