Addysgu
I currently teach German to final year undergraduates at Cardiff and am also the programme director of the MA in Global Culture and Creativity.
My research primarily concerns itself with the politics of memory in Germany and Europe, with a particular focus on issues relating to victimhood. I have published work on questions of memory in literature, film and museums, and also have an interest in cultural diplomacy and the role of heritage in soft power.
