Bio/Research
I have received my PhD (Doctor Philosophiae) and MA (Magister Artium) in German as a Foreign Language (major) and in English Literature and Spanish/Latin-American Literature (minors) from the Philosophical Faculty of Linguistic and Literary Studies II of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Germany.
German as a Foreign Language is a new branch of Germanistics (linguistics, literature, didactics, methodology, intercultural studies) which focuses on an approach from the perspective of the linguistic, literary and cultural other.
My PhD advisor was Harald Weinrich.
I have previously taught at the University of Munich, at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and at the University of Waterloo.
At the present moment I am preparing an article on the staging of the artist in university second-language drama productions for scenario. language. culture. literature, a journal for drama and theatre in foreign and second-language education. I am a peer reviewer for the same journal.
I have also embarked on a research project for scenario with the purpose of generating a report on the state of drama pedagogy in second language acquisition at institutions within the educational system in Canada.
In March 2016 I produced, coordinated and directed a multilingual and multicultural theatre night (Languages Attract) involving skits (authored by first-year students) and scenes presented in French, Spanish, Arabic and German.
