Graduate Student

Elisabeth Oberlerchner joined the department in Fall 2019 as a Craig Fellow.

 

 

 

 

Before joining Rutgers in Fall 2019 as a Craig Fellow, I completed a Master's Double Degree Program in German studies (Gemanistik im interkulturellen Kontext) at the universities of Udine and Klagenfurt. My employment as a teaching and research assistant at both universities encouraged me to pursue an academic career. Today, I am very grateful for being part of the German Department at Rutgers and for having the opportunity to keep learning and growing. In my research, I am highly interested in the time period of the so-called “Goethezeit”, as well as in contemporary Austrian and German literature. In Spring 2022, my colleague Nicole and I organized the Graduate Student Conference “Voices:Stimmen” with Anna Baar as our keynote speaker.
