Todd Heidt
Assistant Professor in Modern Languages-German
Ph.D., University of Cincinnati, 2010

"I am interested in the intersections of modernity, story-telling, media and realism. My dissertation focuses on film adaptations from Weimar Germany (1919-1933), paying particular attention to the manner in which these narratives draw attention to the act of story-telling as much as they communicate the story itself."

Gizem Arslan
Visiting Assistant Professor in Modern Languages-German
Ph.D. Candidate, Cornell University

"My interests include 20th Century literature that evidences a sensitivity to translation, multilingualism, intermediality, and a multisensory experience of the text."
