I am Principal Investigator of the BMBF research group “Aesthetics of Access. Visualizing Research Data on Women in Film History” (DAVIF) (2021-2025) at the Institute of Media Studies at Philipps-Universität Marburg. Drawing on my current research and teaching focus on digital film historiography, data visualization, feminist theory, open science, and media aesthetics, I also founded the international DFG research network “New Directions in Film Historiography. Digital Tools and Methods in Film and Media Studies” (2019-2023).
In addition, I initiated the collaborative Open Media Studies Blog and the hybrid publishing project oa books, where I published my dissertation and blogged about academic publishing. I received a doctoral degree in film studies from Freie Universität Berlin and a Master of Arts from University of Michigan and have published widely on the impact of datafication in film and media studies.
