About
Simone Broders teaches English Literature and Culture at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. She has held interim professorships at the universities of Cologne and Koblenz and has worked as a member of staff at the OVGU Magdeburg.
Her research interests include English literature and culture of the “long” 18th century, contemporary writing in Britain, Gothic and fantastic fiction as cultural crystallisation points of social and cultural debates, and transfer processes between literature and other media. She has also published on memory studies, gender, representations of knowledge and ignorance, and popular culture. Her teaching comprises the entire range of British literature and culture from Shakespeare to contemporary writing.
Her academic path has included an ERASMUS study period at the University of Kent at Canterbury, complemented by a series of shorter international visits for conferences, workshops, and archival research, for instance at the University of Edinburgh, the Ohio State University, the University of Paris-Sorbonne, and the Sapienza University of Rome.
