I am an assistant professor of German at the University of Madeira, a member of the Transdisciplinary Research Center for Culture, Space, and Memory (CITCEM), and a local lecturer of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). I received a BA in English and German from the University of Malta and a double MA in German Studies from the Universities of Bremen and Porto. For my PhD in Literary, Cultural, and Interart Studies from the University of Porto, I conducted research at the FU Berlin and at the University of Palermo, and wrote a dissertation on the narration of time in a 15th century German world chronicle. Subsequently, I worked as a lecturer in Porto and as an editor in Berlin. My research interests include early modern German literature, concepts of time and space in text and image, and short fiction.
