Caroline Schaumann, an Associate Professor of German Studies at Emory University and affiliated faculty with Jewish Studies and Film Studies, has established her presence in the growing field of ecocriticism and the environmental humanities with three research articles in peer-reviewed journals on Alexander von Humboldt (2009, 2013, 2014), and three articles on mountain literature and film, two of them forthcoming this year in Literatur für Leser and The German Quarterly. She has co-edited the anthology Heights of Reflection with Sean Ireton in 2012 (Camden House), and more recently, co-edited a special volume of Colloquia Germanica on “Dirty Nature” with Heather Sullivan (2014). Currently, Schaumann is working on two projects: 1) a monograph examining nineteenth-century depictions of exploration in the Alps, Andes, and the Sierra Nevada that considers the cultural shifts in the perception, written text, and imagery of mountains in the context of tourism, leisure, and the discontents of modernity. 2) An anthology (co-edited with Heather Sullivan) on German Ecocriticism. Schaumann was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers 2012-2015.
