Jutta’s current research interests focus on issues of forced migration, particularly political asylum, in literature, film, and law. Her work has been published in New German Critique, Arethusa, Mosaic, Germanic Review, and African American Review, among others, and she is presently working on a project tentatively entitled “States of Asylum: Refugees and the City.” She is interested in collaborative pedagogies, especially course maps combining scholarly inquiry, creative writing, and out-of-classroom experiences as well as inter-institutional public humanities projects.
