As a Ph.D. candidate in Germanic Languages and Literatures, my current research is centered on questions of migration and displacement, identity politics, and trauma studies focusing on the intersections of literature, philosophy, psychology and arts. I consider the experiences of migrants, refugees, and exiles in their new geographic and cultural contexts, as well as their fraught connection to the past.
