I am a film and media studies scholar investigating how data shapes our understanding of history. My research and teaching focus on digital film historiography, data visualization, feminist theory, open science, and media aesthetics. I am currently leading 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. Additionally, I founded the international DFG research network “New Directions in Film Historiography: Digital Tools and Methods in Film and Media Studies” (2019-2023).
I also 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 hold a doctoral degree and a Master of Arts in Film Studies from Freie Universität Berlin, as well as a Master of Arts in German from University of Michigan. My publications cover a wide range of topics, including digital knowledge production, the impact of datafication on historical narratives, and film analysis.
