Lecturer in Performance, University of the West of Scotland
I joined the University of the West of Scotland’s Performance team in December 2022. Prior to my appointment at UWS, I worked as Postdoctoral Researcher in Theatre Studies at University of Bern in Switzerland (2021-22), as Assistant Lecturer in Drama and Performance at Queen Margaret University in Musselburgh (2020-21) and as Teaching Assistant in Theatre Studies at Glasgow University (2017-20) where I completed my PhD in 2016.
My academic expertise encompasses contemporary performance analysis, the history and contemporary practice of dramaturgy, institutional aesthetics and change, decolonial and postcolonial critique and intersectional analyses as well as a specific focus on German-speaking theatre. In addition to my academic work, I specialise in dramaturgy practice and cultural curating. From 2015-19, I worked as cultural programmer for the German cultural institute Goethe-Institut in Glasgow. Since January 2021, I have been a board member for the intersectional feminist theatre company Stellar Quines.
