Antje Pfannkuchen
Co-Director
Antje Pfannkuchen has been teaching in the Dickinson German department since 2009. Born and raised in what was then the German Democratic Republic (GDR), Pfannkuchen went out into the world as the Berlin wall fell, with stops in the San Francisco Bay Area, Berlin, NYC and London. She completed undergraduate and graduate studies in comparative literature, media and cultural history in Berlin, a master’s in interactive telecommunications and a Ph.D. in German at NYU.
Pfannkuchen explores connections between literature and the history of science and technology, currently focusing on the confluence of electrical research, Romantic poetry and science and the invention of photography around 1800. She coedited The Technological Introject (Fordham UP) which investigates the widespread influences across the humanities and social sciences by the German media theorist Friedrich Kittler. Pfannkuchen’s articles have appeared in journals such as Configurations, Germanic Review, German Studies Review and in edited volumes in both English and German. She has been awarded fellowships and grants for her research from the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH), American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and others.
