Ingo Kieslich – ingo.kieslich@vanderbilt.edu

At the Georg-August University of Göttingen I studied German literature and language (as a major), history and philosophy (both as minors). In thesummer of 2004 I handed in my master’s thesis with the title "'Katastrophe in Permanenz'. Untersuchungen zu Walter Benjamins Passagen-Werk." From 2003 until 2005 I worked on an internet database dealing with German literary life from 1945 up to the turn of the century. Eventually I moved to Berlin and started a Ph. D. project at the Freie Universität with the work in progress title "Raumkonzeptionen bei Walter Benjamin und Hannah Arendt". Since Fall 2006 I have been at the Vanderbilt University where I am pursuing a Ph. D. and working as a TA. My interests focus on 19th and 20th century thought and literature.
