About Me

I received my Ph.D. in German from the University of Michigan in 2006 and wrote my dissertation on the fundamental significance of jazz music to German culture during Weimar Republic (1918-1933).  Before joining NC State, I was a visiting assistant professor in German at the College of the Holy Cross.  Currently I'm working on rewriting my dissertation for publication.  My research interests include 20th century German literature and culture, with particular emphasis on German-American encounters, music and culture, and race in Germany.
