I am a PhD candidate in the Department of German, Nordic, Slavic & Dutch. My dissertation traces the ways German-language poetry in Yiddish translation shaped modern Jewish culture in/beyond the former Habsburg Empire (i.e., in North America, across interwar and postwar Europe, and in Israel Palestine). In 2021, I was a visiting lecturer of Yiddish Studies at the Ohio State University. And currently, I work for the UMN Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies in educational outreach and special collections development.
