About: Hannah Armstrong recently completed her PhD in English and Related Literature at the University of York (2025) with a thesis titled: ‘Sheaves from Sagaland’: Island Medievalism and the Norse North Atlantic in British Writing (1860-Present). Her doctoral work focused on the phenomenon of ‘saga pilgrimage’, a form of literary tourism which began in the mid-nineteenth century and which saw readers of the medieval Old Norse-Icelandic sagas travel to places such as Iceland to see the sites where their heroes had allegedly lived and died.

During her PhD, research grants from the British Association for Victorian Studies and the Chalke Valley History Trust, as well as the 2023 Peter Foote Memorial Bursary from the Viking Society for Northern Studies, enabled her to undertake fieldwork in both Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) and the Faroe Islands. In 2024, she was also a visiting scholar at the Gunnar Gunnarsson Institute in East Iceland.

Currently, she is working on her first monograph, provisionally titled Sagalands: Island Medievalism and the Norse North Atlantic, as well as plannning her next monograph project which will focus on the application of Island Studies perspectives to Old Norse prose literature.

About: 

Jon Beltz holds a PhD in Assyriology from Yale University, specializing in the languages, literature, and religions of ancient Mesopotamia. His dissertation was on the Mesopotamian underworld deity/demon Namtar, who functioned as a “grim reaper” figure for the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. He has also worked on the usage of inscribed amulets in ancient Mesopotamia and the phenomenon of “magic”. His current work focuses on a group of Sumerian incantations he calls “oath incantations”, which utilize the language of oath-binding to exorcize demons and prevent them from attacking a patient. He is currently producing a critical edition of the late bilingual Sumerian-Akkadian compositions Digir Hul and Lugal Namtar, two lengthy standardized incantations used in ancient Mesopotamia for exorcism and healing from demonic attack. He has studied and published cuneiform texts from the Yale Babylonian Collection and the British Museum.

About: 

Molly Bronstein earned her PhD in Comparative Literature and Medieval Studies from UC Berkeley in 2022, where she subsequently worked as a lecturer before coming to Tübingen in 2023. Her dissertation focused on Ovid’s medieval reception and argued for a view of the anonymous author of the Old French Ovide moralisé as the leader of a late medieval “team” translation project; she is now expanding on this project to focus on Middle English retranslations of (and “collaborations” with) the Ovide moralisé. She has also written about the Roman de Troyle, Louis de Beauvau’s French translation of Boccaccio’s Il Filostrato, and the poetry of Marie de Clèves, Duchess of Orléans.

In addition to her research, Molly is a graduate of the Clarion Workshop at UCSD and a short fiction writer with publications in Other Terrors: An Inclusive Anthology, Michigan Quarterly Review: Mixtape, Brave New Weird: The Best New Weird Horror, and elsewhere. She teaches creative writing as well as literary studies.

About:

I am a historian of early modern European history, with a specialisation in urban, religious, and spatial approaches. My research investigates how monarchical and religious influence interacted with civic authority within urban spaces during the early French Wars of Religion. My current book project, based on my doctoral dissertation and provisionally entitled ‘‘La ville eut l’éphémère honneur d’être comme la capitale du Royaume': A Spatial History of Charles IX’s Royal Tour of France, 1564–1566 (Angoulême, Lyon, Sens)’, explores how royal, civic, and religious actors utilized different urban spaces in France to project their own authority and promote religious toleration and co-existence through royal entrances amid religious warfare. My research incorporates primary source material such as festival books, financial records, correspondences, city council minutes, and maps. Prior to Tübingen, I have taught early modern European seminars at Durham University.

Research Project: Interculturalizing our Selves: Inward and Outward Models

Theories in comparative, postcolonial and intercultural theories have not yet led to the integration of contemporary Anglophone Indian philosophy, neither in India nor globally. Neither are the texts available, nor are much secondary resources written, historical or philosophical, to comment the work of post-independence Indian academic philosophers. Paying attention to this lacuna, in the present project I reflect on the margins of our global philosophies and intercultural models that for now remain mostly developed in Western academia, where ‘Indian philosophy’ is restricted to its classical texts and concepts. I argue that the inclusion of contemporary Indian philosophy is not only historically just, but also helpful to think about intercultural models of conceiving our relation to Otherness. Indeed, intercultural theories such as Waldenfels’ distinguish between der Andere (other) and der Fremde (alien). Such theories explain that the intercultural Other is an ‘extra-ordinary’ phenomenon, beyond any categorical order and given understanding. For postcolonial cultures such as India, however, the question cannot be reduced to this alternative of an Other who is different from me and an alien who is radically elsewhere. The specificity of a colonial heritage implies an ‘own’ altered by the other, to the extent that the other became the own, but an own who is also different from the other, due to a process of alienation, hybridity of thoughts, in a search for authenticity. This leads to an interesting difference in conceiving intercultural models. For intercultural theories, the conception is organized around the idea of reaching cultural otherness. They aim at creating adequate forms able to engage with the Other without reducing her to one’s own conceptual framework. However, in a postcolonial world, it is no longer a question of reaching otherness, but of reconnecting with the own – the identity and unity of which raises great complexities. Thus, I propose to consider the differences between two models, the ‘outwardization’ of Otherness and the ‘inwardization’ of Otherness: the first considers that the Other is something out of my reach, that ought to be reached. In the inwardization model, the Other is already part of me, or I am already with her/him, and I have to ‘realize my essentiality’ with Others. The ‘inwardization’, ‘realization’, ‘seeking’ to become what I am by realizing that the reality has never been other than me, are frequent terms in twentieth century India. There two dimensions of my research meet, where the models for framing ‘global philosophy’ emerge from local reception of neglected philosophers.

Activities at the College of Fellows: Organisation des Workshops: "Freedom from Others or Freedom with Others? Alienation, Independence and Liberation in Contemporary Indian Philosophy" (11. und 13. Dezember 2021); Organisation der GIP Lectures mit Prof. Dr. Bhagat Oinam (18. November 2021) und Prof. Dr. Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad (7. Dezember 2021). 

During my research stay at the College of Fellows, I organised and moderated two lectures collaboratively organized by the College of Fellows and the Society for Intercultural Philosophy (GIP), delivered by Prof. Bhagat Oinam (Jawaharlal Nehru University) and Prof. Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad (Lancaster University): the recordings are available in the section Mediathek. I also organized, introduced and moderated the workshop Freedom from Others or Freedom with Others? Alienation, Independence and Liberation in Contemporary Indian Philosophy, on December 11 and 13, 2021. With these, I wanted to contribute to the Focus Group Intercultural Studies of the College. The two lectures were thought for a broad audience to engage with diverse Indian philosophies (classical Sanskrit texts and indigenous oral accounts from the North-East, in dialogue with phenomenological discourses). The workshop benefitted from the fellowship in Intercultural Studies at the College of Fellows in Tübingen to obtain an academic space that otherwise does not exist, in order to discuss specific developments within contemporary Indian philosophy. The openness of the College of Fellows and the freedom granted to researchers enabled our contemporary Indian research and discussions, and it also created a truly international platform, with most participants from India. Further workshops and conferences organized by my colleagues in Tübingen were fruitful opportunities to think collectively, raise methodological questions or discover new authors and concepts, which helped me clarify my own thoughts on interculturality.

In addition to these events at the College of Fellows, I delivered a lecture in the Course “Geschichte der Philosophie in globaler Perspektive” (History of Philosophy in a Global Perspective) in a seminar organized in cooperation between the Universities of Wuppertal, Freiburg and Hildesheim (online talk). My talk was meant to introduce historiography practiced in contemporary Indian philosophy with special regards to Surendranath Dasgupta’s opus magnum History of Indian Philosophy (in five volumes) and entitled :“How to write the ‘history’ of 3000 years of a subcontinent’s philosophies, in English, during colonization or in the wake of Independence, in one book?”, in a project to diversify the teachings of History of Philosophy up to what it should be, namely a truly global history. It has been an enriching and inspiring experience to see such collaboration between experts of all regional areas to work together for delivering one Course.

The research that was published during my stay is visible in the Publications section on this website, but I worked in the College of Fellows on three other publications which are forthcoming in 2022. The first one is entitled 'Witnessing and Realizing Pluralities' and will be published in J. Madaio and B. Black (Eds), Pluralism and Plurality in Classical and Contemporary India, London: Routledge. The second one is an article that I wrote which will be included in a book that I am editing with two colleagues from Tel-Aviv University, Daniel Raveh and Dor Miller. Our edited volume published by Routledge (London) is called Krishnachandra Bhattacharyya and the Making of Contemporary Indian Philosophy, and my article is entitled 'The Concept of Demand: Krishnachandra Bhattacharyya’s Inner Dialectical Force.' We met regularly to discuss, comment and proofread each contribution and proceed with the editing work during my stay. Finally, I am preparing an article, 'Intercultural Dialogue and Concreativity' for the Festschrift to Prof. Georg Stenger, edited by Lubomir Dunaj, Anke Graness and Murat Ates (Springer). I benefitted immensely from the excellent infrastructures of the College of Fellows that allowed me to focus and have the institutional space for writing these articles, as well as researching the literature required for it.

I also follow Hindi and Sanskrit classes and seminars to continue improving my language skills. Finally, I located and recorded multiple journals, articles and volumes in the field of contemporary Indian philosophy at the University of Tübingen that have had an impact on my publications this semester and will influence the development of my forthcoming research project.

The College of Fellows has provided me immediately with all the needed help and material I could think of. It has been overall an outstanding collegial 'home', and I am most grateful for its welcoming atmosphere and the receptiveness to research in non-classical, non-Western philosophies, and new ideas in general.

Research Project: Building Transatlantic Media Law Education and the Prospective U.S. Digital Media Workforce

Purpose: 

This research project aims to equip future U.S.-trained media, journalism, and communication professionals with the knowledge and competencies needed to navigate emerging European Union regulations addressing digital privacy, online competition, and other harms. As these laws increasingly shape global media practices, the project prepares students and professionals not only for work within the EU but also for potential regulatory shifts in the United States. By fostering transatlantic regulatory literacy, the initiative supports a more agile and informed media workforce capable of adapting to evolving legal and ethical standards.

Global Encounters Lecture "Natural Histories in a Global Perspective. Pliny, Oviedo and America: An Ancient Encyclopaedia as a Model to Transfer and Transmit Knowledge" (23. Januar 2024)

About:

Eva Falaschi holds a diploma and Ph.D. in archaeology from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa and a Master of Arts in Classics from the University of Pisa. From 2014 to 2020, she was a research fellow at the Scuola Normale, working on the reception of Greek art in Roman Imperial literature and, in particular, in Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historia. Between 2021 and 2022, her project on art treatises and artists’ biographies in ancient times was funded by the Center for Hellenic Studies (Harvard University), the James Loeb Gesellschaft / Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte (München), and the Getty Research Institute. Her Global Encounters research aims at a historical analysis of global knowledge formation. It examines the impact of Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia (c. AD 70) on the understanding and global transmission of America’s natural history in the 16th century.

About:

I am an early career scholar. I obtained my doctorate in Social Anthropology from the University of Hyderabad, India in 2024. My doctoral work focused on urban rooftop gardening as a collective health and kin-making practice beyond growing ‘safe’ food. Currently, as a Teache@Tübingen fellow, I teach a course on human-environmental relations. Besides, I am pursuing post-doctoral research on the links between gender, migration, and health. What fascinates me is the process of re-locating one's health in the context of migration. This research is relevant in furthering the understanding of how migrants interact with the host health care system and vice versa; and what are the alternate practices through which they manage their health. Additionally, my membership in the College of Fellows gives me a platform to share my research and meet other international scholars, collaborate with them.

About: Lukas was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Graduating Magna cum Laude from the University of Colorado with a BA in German Studies, Lukas continued his academic journey at the Carolina-Duke Graduate Program in German Studies, earning his Ph.D. in May 2023. His dissertation, Faithful Form: On Religion and Politics in German Modernist Lyric, explores the latent relationship between religion and politics in the poetry of Else Lasker-Schüler, Georg Trakl, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Paul Celan.

Lukas's research spans multiple disciplines, including German modernism, the avant-garde, poetry, critical theory, gender studies, and ecocriticism. He approaches literature not merely as an aesthetic artifact, but as a vital contribution to historical, philosophical, economic, and political discourses. Currently, Lukas is exploring the structural affinity between Rilke's poetics and Theodor Adorno's critical theory in his upcoming book project, Critical Rilke: Adorno's Missed Encounter. Additionally, he has begun co-editing a collected edition on the early Frankfurt School and poetry.

Beyond his academic pursuits, Lukas can be found on the hiking trails around Tübingen, tent-camping in the mountains, or snowboarding in the winter. His outdoor pursuits not only offer a refreshing break from scholarly pursuits but also inspire a sense of adventure and resilience that enriches his commitment to research.

About: Since obtaining my PhD at the University of Otago, I have worked as a researcher for the Toda Peace Institute and am now a Teaching Fellow at the University of Tübingen. My research interests include international relations in the Asia-Pacific region, state decision-making processes, and conflict management. 

My current research project examines the decision-making processes of Japan and South Korea in response to the rise of China. For this research, I conducted extensive field work in South Korea and Japan, including a stint as a Waseda Visiting Research Fellow. 

I have taught courses on international relations theory and New Zealand foreign policy, and worked as a teaching assistant for various courses, including introduction to international relations, Chinese foreign policy, and US foreign policy. 

As a freelance writer and researcher, I have contributed articles to NK News, the Asia New Zealand Foundation, 9Dashline, and The Context.

“Utopian Chronotopes and the Feminist Utopia as Critical Thought Experiment” (20. Juli 2022)

About: Sarah Lohmann is a Teaching and Research Fellow under Professor Ingrid Hotz-Davies in the Department of English as part of the Teach@Tübingen programme. She previously completed her PhD in English literature under the supervision of Professors Patricia Waugh and Simon James at Durham University in England, following the completion of two master's degrees, in English literature and gender studies and in analytic philosophy, at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. She also previously attained a First-Class joint undergraduate degree in English literature and philosophy at St Andrews, bringing her total time spent in the UK so far up to 13 years - enough time to attain citizenship and develop a fondness for ceilidh dancing and academic pub culture.

Sarah’s research and teaching focus on feminist utopian literature, utopian studies in general, science fiction, systems theory, climate fiction, Gothic literature and analytic philosophy. Her PhD thesis presented a case for the classification of utopian literature in terms of structural Bakhtinian chronotopes based on systems theory, with a particular focus on the feminist ‘critical utopias’ of Joanna Russ, Marge Piercy and Ursula K. Le Guin. At the University of Tübingen, Sarah taught a course last semester entitled 'Women Writing Worlds: Feminist Utopian Literature through the Ages’, which further developed her work on feminist utopias, and this semester, she is teaching one entitled ‘Ghosts and Others: Systems, Selves and the Supernatural in Gothic Literature’, which also builds on the systems-theoretical chronotope framework she developed in her PhD thesis. After recently publishing a book chapter on utopia as living organism for a Festschrift in the Ralahine Utopian Studies Series, Sarah is currently working on further publication projects, including the publication of her thesis and of a commissioned book-length introduction to Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time. She is also continually developing her pedagogical practice, including recently becoming a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and attaining a masters-level Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), the highest teaching qualification available to early-career university lecturers in the UK.

Personal Website: www.sarahlohmann.com

Further information on her work can be found in her interview with the SFRA Review as an 'up and coming science fiction scholar'. Sarah is happy to be contacted (for example via the contact form on her website) regarding possible collaborations as well as postdoctoral and funding opportunities for the future.

About: Àlex Mas-Sandoval is a population geneticist that studies how evolutionary processes driven by social structure and cultural changes impact the genetic diversity of populations. He got his PhD at the Institut de Biologia Evolutiva (UPF), in Barcelona, and at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, in Porto Alegre. There he focused on the reconstruction of the precolonial demographic history from admixed populations of Brazil. Then, during a Postdoc at Imperial College London, he studied how social hierarchies constrain the mating patterns and the admixture dynamics of the populations of the Americas. As a postdoctoral researcher at Università di Bologna, he is focused on understanding the socioeconomic factors that drive assortative mating in these populations.

Dr. Mas-Sandoval is currently a short-term visiting researcher at Universität Tübingen in the framework of the Global Encounters platform, aiming to disentangle how social inequalities and population stratification have impacted a wide range of populations across time and space.

About: Dr Hye-min OH is a feminist scholar, writer, filmmaker, and educator. She holds a PhD in Women’s Studies from Ewha Women’s University in Seoul and an MA in Gender and Diversity from the Freie Universität Berlin. Her dissertation, entitled ‘Epistemic Vulnerability of Korean Budding Feminists in the Era of Post-Feminism Reboot.' focused on the contemporary and generational context, examining the impact of feminism and anti-feminism backlash on the young generation. 

Following the emergence of the #MeToo movement in the arts sector, she has taught mandatory feminist courses at the Korea National University of Arts in Seoul for six years. In an educational environment characterized by acceptance and resistance, she cultivated her interest in feminist pedagogy. She participated in numerous projects to develop educational content and published academic papers and books. In addition to her previous activities, she has expressed a desire to research the current situation in which alternative knowledge, defined as information that deviates from established facts and is often used to manipulate public opinion, is replacing and influencing reality. To this end, she was awarded a Global Encounters Fellowship at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen, Germany, where she is currently engaged in research to identify responses to this phenomenon from a transnational perspective, with a particular focus on resilience and institutionalization.

Activities at the College of Fellows:

At the College of Fellows, I will form a focus group with the other members of the current Global Encounters cohort. I plan to participate fully in College of Fellows academic life and work collaboratively with the other Global Encounters Fellows. I will spend my time in Tübingen preparing a book manuscript for publication, as well as other article length projects. I will also take part in several symposia and workshops.

About: 

I am a historian of the late medieval and early modern period, with a focus on religious, cultural, and migration histories. I earned my PhD in History from the University of Rochester in 2024. My research has been supported by Fulbright-Hays, the Renaissance Society of America, and the American Institute of Maghrib Studies, among others. My current book project “Valorous Defeat: North African Narratives of the Morisco Expulsion” examines how memory, conflict, and religious identity interact during migratory processes and diasporic communities and is based on archival research in Morocco, Tunisia, and Spain.
