HA. The Hannah Arendt Yearbook. Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism
As managing editor, I oversaw the publication of The Hannah Arendt Yearbook (De Gruyter). Centered on the theme of Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism, the volume features transcripts from the 2024 Hannah Arendt Center conference at Bard College, alongside essays by Sebastian Junger, Fintan O’Toole, Seyla Benhabib, Leon Botstein, Lyndsey Stonebridge, Thomas Chatterton Williams, and others. The Yearbook also reflects the Center’s deep commitment to the humanities: we partnered with Lapham’s Quarterly to become the new steward of the publication founded by the late Lewis H. Lapham, adopting its model of pairing contemporary essays with classic texts to create a layered resource for reflection, scholarship, and public discourse.

Natur und Nation. Landschaft als Ausdruck nationaler Identität im 19. Jahrhundert – der Rhein und der Hudson River
Based on my doctoral thesis and supported by a four-year Friedrich Ebert Foundation scholarship, Natur und Nation explores representations of nature within national narratives in 19th-century German and American literature. I examine how landscapes—particularly the Rhine and the Hudson—served as media for shaping national identities, engaging authors such as Washington Irving, John Burroughs, Friedrich Hölderlin, Heinrich Heine, and others.

Denkräume.Von Orten und Ideen
How much does thinking depend on where we think? In principle, it can happen anywhere—accompanied by music, a walk in nature or the city, alone or with others. Spaces open possibilities and set limits, yet thinking, even when constrained, can transcend boundaries.
For this book, thirty journalists, writers, and scholars reflect on the places where they think and write. The result is a mix of anecdotes, essays, conversations, and literary explorations—some light, like thinking in the shower or on the dance floor; some serious, like thinking in exile or prison.
Contributors include Ann Cotten, Carolin Emcke, Isabelle Graw, Gerhard Henschel, Iman Humaidan, Ann Lauterbach, Matthias Nawrat, Joseph O'Neill, Kathrin Passig, Meşale Tolu, David Wagner, and many more.
