In 2014, she earned her PhD from the University of Oregon with the dissertation “The Singing Nazi: Representations of National Socialism in Broadway Musicals.” Between 2018 and 2021 she worked as a Postdoc for the inter-university research initiative “Music and Migration,” where she co-edited the upcoming Routldge Handbook of Music and Migration: Theories and Methodologies – slated to come out in fall 2023 – with Wolfgang Gratzer, Nils Grosch and Ulrike Präger.

Current research includes the German-speaking reception history of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Marcel Prawy’s early efforts to bring Broadway musicals to Europe, musical hallucinations in TV series, musical cryptography in film, TV and video games, as well as the search toward and aural equivalent of the “male gaze.”
