5. Internet Contributions & Teaching and Research:

• In the summer semester 2024, the students of the master course "19th-Century American Women's Fiction" undertook a COIL project (Collaborative Online International Learning project) with a class taught by Professor Damon-Bach from Salem State University, Massachusetts, USA. The students worked on an annotated online version of a part of Catharine Maria Sedgwick's Letters from Abroad to Kindred at Home (1841) that covers her travels through Germany. In addition to Sedgwick's annotated letters, the document also contains an introduction by the students, a brief afterword by myself, and a short bibliography with reading and teaching materials for the project: https://oops.uni-oldenburg.de/6937/.

6. Current Research: 
I am presently working on two smaller projects. The one has to do with chronotopicity, identity, and modernism in the novel The Whole Family (1908), a novel written jointly by 12 authors, including William Dean Howells, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Elizabeth Jordan, Henry James, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, and others. 

The other project is dedicated to contributions to a new encyclopedia on theories on myth. I am delighted and thrilled that feminist revisionist mythmaking, „Classica Africana,” and Toni Morrison will all be included in this new encyclopedia!
