I am currently working on my second book, “Narratives of Consequence: Law, Action, and the American Novel, 1877-1925.” My first book, Landschaft und Territorium: Amerikanische Literatur, Expansion und die Krise der Nation, 1784-1866, has been published with Wilhelm Fink in 2014, and my articles have appeared in Law & Literature, Leviathan: A Journal of Melville Studies, Early American Literature, Amerikastudien/American Studies, and ESQ: A Journal of the American Renaissance.
I am teaching at the Ruhr University Bochum and have held teaching and research positions at the Free University Berlin, University of Chicago, Goethe University Frankfurt, and the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder).
