Since receiving my Ph.D. in German Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara, I have been doing research on Contemporary German Literature and teaching German language, literature and culture and courses in World Literature in Translation at NC State University.

My publications have been in contemporary German literature, especially on Christa Wolf (Autorschaft und Subjektgenese: Christa Wolfs Kein Ort. Nirgends. Vienna: Passagen, 1992) and the works of German writer/Czech national Libuše Moníková (1945-1998), with articles on historiographic metafiction, filmic writing, and intermediality.

My current research project is on intermediality, history, and postmodern narrative in the works of Libuše Moníková.
