I have also worked extensively with business German and instructional technology, serving from 1999-2001 on the Technology Committee of the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG).

I received together with Oliver Lubrich, Freie Universität Berlin, a TransCoop Grant from the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation to support work on a two-volume edited collection: Alexander von Humboldt in Literature and Culture, forthcoming from Berghahn Books.

Humboldt traveled from 1799 to 1804 in the territories of colonial Spanish America and on his return worked for over twenty years on extensive publications. The transdisciplinary, intercultural and multilingual German traveler is an ideal case study for the current social, historical, and political discourses that have developed in the Anglo-American setting such as Cultural Studies and Postcolonialism. This edited collection will systematically gather the most important literary responses and literary and cultural essays from the past two hundred years and make them available, for the first time in English, to a broad international public. The essays question, among many other issues, Humboldt’s relation to colonial discourse, his place in cultural history, the hybrid poetics of his travel narrative, and his resonance in Latin American "magic realist" literature.
