Since 2014 I am holding several professorships at History department’s, and within Book Studies. As a trained historian and communication scholar, I am currently working at the Institute for European Cultural History at Augsburg University, Germany, and was a professor in Munich (at the History Department), in Erlangen (at the Institute for the Study of the Book), and in Mainz (within Book Studies). I earned my Ph.D. in 2010 at the Free University of Berlin, after having studied History, Communication Studies, and English Studies in Berlin (Free University and Humboldt University) and Dublin (UCD). In 2015, I became co-editor of the German journal “Jahrbuch für Kommunikationsgeschichte”, and in 2018 I was lucky enough to be awarded the “Maria-Weber-Grant” (Hans Böckler Foundation) for outstanding postdoctoral scholars. As can be seen in my 4 books published in German, Dutch and English – and some more 30 chapters and articles, and various edited volumes – my interests are clearly centered on the materiality, sociality and spatiality of communication flows, and this focus is reflected through my work touching and intersecting book history, media history, paper history, digital history, environmental history and some more. Being an expert for Early Modern European History, my teaching topics also range from Medieval written culture, to Early Modern and Modern book and knowledge contexts, to long-term media and paper recycling, to coding and App-building seminars around locative media. Over the last years I received funding in total of about 1 Million Euro for my work from HERA, the German Research Association (DFG), and some other foundations. I do enjoy my work.
