I joined the department in September 2016, after lecturing in English Literature, Culture and Drama at the University of Heidelberg. From April 2015 to April 2016 I conducted research at the Department of Drama, Theatre and Dance, University of Royal Holloway, London. 

I have written numerous articles on contemporary theatre and performance, and co-edited a volume on Non-standard Forms of Contemporary Drama and Theatre (Trier: Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Trier, 2008). I have also published books on Victorian Literature as well as The Gothic (Allegorical Thackeray (Zurich: LIT, 2015); Gothic Transgressions (co-edited with Christian Schneider, Zurich: LIT, 2015). I am currently working on a new monograph project: Theatres of Disruption in 21st-Century Britain: Political Plays and Performances in Turbulent Times (under contract with Bloomsbury).
