I'm the Director of Studies in Modern Languages for the second, third and fourth-year students, Professor of Modern German and Comparative Culture, and Head of the University's Department of German and Dutch. My research and teaching interests cover various aspects of modern German and comparative culture, including literature, film, psychoanalysis, and gender issues. My most recent books are a study of the European Avant-garde (Polity Press, 2004), and a cultural topography of Berlin in the twentieth century (Cambridge University Press, 2008). I have also translated one of the volumes for the new Penguin Freud.
