Professor Silke Schade, who has published on transnational and multi-lingual authors in Germany, is currently investigating the new and particular perspectives on space that stem from the experience of migration, and from allegiances to multiple locations. Her wider research interests include German culture, 19th- through 21st-century German literature, transcultural literature and film, Gender Studies, German-Jewish Studies, and European Studies. She recently completed her Ph.D. in contemporary transcultural literature with a dissertation entitled “Rewriting Home and Migration: Spatiality in the Narratives of Barbara Honigmann and Emine Sevgi Özdamar.”
